Arrived in Longboat Key (Moore's Stone Crab anchorage)yesterday, took the dingy to shore and walked across the Longboat Pass Bridge to check out trolley service. Really beautiful walking over the bridge, and a totally different perspective than being on Free Spirit and going under it! On the way back we saw a school of dolphins swimming near the bridge. Saw Tosca at Mar Vista (she is the hostess), and what was really funny about that is that when we were walking in the DeSoto Point Park a couple of days ago, we ran into her walking her dog. When Mom, Deb and I were last at Mar Vista, she said she would like to have a sister so I said I would adopt her and I left her a note on the reception stand with my email.
BBQ'd a delicious steak and had a nice evening on board. This morning, we took off with backpacks for the day; we walked across the bridge again and got on the free trolley and rode it to my favorite breakfast spot for triple berry pancakes (Gulf Drive Cafe). We got on the trolley and rode it all the way to the Ana Maria pier and checked out all of the cute little shops. Caught the trolley back to the bridge, and while walking over the bridge say a dolphin breach out of the water. Beautiful!
Tonight we are eating soup and pasta on board, and heading out to Venice tomorrow.
