Yesterday was rather quiet here. It was cloudy all day and I was thinking about complaining, but I saw the forecast for Michigan and decided that I had nothing to complain about. We dropped in to a yoga class in the morning. It was a good workout. Visitors can pay twelve dollars since there are lots of vacationers here. The class was lead by a woman who gave clear instruction, clear demonstration, and options for folks who were not regular yoga practioners (like me). I was only a little sore this morning, so that's good. A lot of the work was using core muscles and I've been doing a lot of core work at home.
In the afternoon we went to the local fish market and bought super-fresh shrimp and amberjack, a mild fish found off the Florida coast. Prices were a bit high but the fish was excellent. We had a nice meal out of it.
One of the things I love about traveling is finding local food - in markets and in restaurants - and trying new items. Florida has such a long growing season that fruit and veggies are easy to find and of high quality. Nancy showed us some pictures of this hotel from last year when the owners were renovating the gardens. The difference between last year and this is astonishing. All of the plants are large and flourishing and completely filled in.
This morning we walked on the beach for a little while and I took a picture so I could have something to paint when I'm back home and feeling sad about the lingering winter.
