We started off this morning with good news from our neighbors about our house in Cape Coral. Tropical Storm Isaac passed by with rain, but no strong winds or flooding. Thank you, Daniele, Jim and Dave for keeping an eye out for us.
We then enjoyed breakfast at Rosie's with Bev and Bruce Freese. Rosie had creamed chipped beef, so the Captain was very pleased. We caught up on banking and some other personal stuff today. We took a walk through town in the afternoon. It's a nice little town with a good marine store, Sweetwater Marine, and Ralph bought some shackles. I like the architecture and took lots of photos as we went along.
We had skipped lunch because we had a late breakfast and ended up at Oink's -- the most popular ice cream place in town. Everything in Oinks relates to pigs and it's very cute. Their ice cream is delicious, too...of course, neither of us has ever met a cone we didn't like.
Here are a few photos from our meanderings today:
