The weather is warming up nicely and today was as about as perfect as you can ask for. Today our friends Jan & Dan Parker drove down to the marina from their Marco Island home, and provided us with the most entertaining day we could ask for. Our first stop was at the local farmers market. An abundance of beautiful fresh vegetables. I couldn’t resist the fresh prepared guacamole & we were not disappointed. We lost track of Dan & Tom, and wouldn’t you know they found an old restored ’48 Buick 4-door sedan in the parking lot that drew them like magnets. What a couple of gear heads.

After the farmers market we toured the beautiful island of Marco by convertible. This Island is absolutely gorgeous, lots of history and Dan & Jan were our personal tour guides. Our next venture was to Goodland, FL for lunch at “The New Little Bar and Restaurant” What a neat waterfront dining establishment. The town is truly a laid back, back to nature and reminds you of old Florida. We drove back to Dan & Jan’s absolutely beautiful home for a guided tour. Dan, Jan, thank you for taking the time to offer us a spectacular afternoon. You are truly the most gracious host.

We rode bicycles to town before dark, made reservations at Arturo’s Italian Restaurant for later in the evening, rode to a shopping center and looked around. After dark we rode bikes back to Arturo’s for a very well prepared pasta dinner. Just another wonderful day here in paradise.
