Again today, we went to the beach and pool in the morning. The water was warm at the beach, and the waves were not too strong. We hung out there for a good hour, before heading back into the hotel to goto the pool. Since the baby was getting sleepy, we accepted the help offered and sent her off for a nap. Today was my husband's "day to cook", so he went in as well, and I set off on another walk and chat with my sister-in-law. Lunch was great! We started with an avocado and shrimp w/sauce salad, leading to an aglio-olio pasta with artichoke hearts and shrimp. White wine accompanied this meal, making it a delicious lunch for a day at the beach.
A walk to St. Armand's Circle came next, even though it started to get very hot. We went to Kilwin's to get some ice cream and walked around "town" again. We headed back to the hotel to get some rest and then headed out to the beach and pool again. In the evening, we drove into Sarasota and then headed to dinner at Siesta Key's: Siesta Village. It was a beautiful little place, with a main street full of bars and restaurants. We opted to have some pizza and sangria at a restaurant called Napoli.
Once we got to the hotel and put the baby to sleep, my sister-in-law, husband, Gus, and I went to sit out at the beach for a while. This was around 10pm. The climate was nice, not too hot or humid. We sat on the soft sand and stared at the stars, the crescent, orangish moon and heard the waves break on shore while we chatted and hung out. As if this were not enough, Gus decided to dive into the pool, clothes and all to end our day. As we would say back home, "fechou com chave de ouro".
Looking forward to another day tomorrow in this little piece of paradise. Actually thinking this would be a great place to come back to for a long weekend or short holiday...
