This week we started out by taking the Suncoast Trolley
from Clearwater along the barrier islands of Clearwater Beach down to St.
Petersburg Beach. At some points you can
see the Gulf on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. At the wider parts there are houses and
hotels as well as businesses. It is a
beautiful area, a place we would like to return to sometime for a springtime beach
vacation. We stopped at a shopping area
called John’s Pass to eat lunch on the boardwalk. We are still surprised at how less crowded
the beach areas are in Florida compared to what we are used to in California,
even in winter.
Later in the week we went to Tampa Bay Downs to see the
thoroughbred racing. The horses were
beautiful and fun to watch. I didn’t do
too well at picking winners though, oh well.
We also went out to the beach on Honeymoon Island. It’s a beautiful island you drive to over a
causeway, and then you can drive right onto the beach. All we needed is a kayak. Today we drove south to our next stop in
Punta Gorda. The RV park here has a dock
in the back where you can launch a boat or kayak into a waterway that leads to
the harbor and then into the gulf. Its
warmer here too, beach weather.
