Saturday/Sunday - February 17 & 18

 Posted by Mark:

Saturday morning we headed off at 7:45 to Jupiter, FL.  Stopped in LaBelle at Bridge Street Coffee.  From there took the northern Lake Okeechobee route. Got to Bob and Carol's condo a bit after 11.  Sat and visited for quite awhile.  Then went for a drive but rain interrupted some of our plans, but still got to check out a number of places.  Saw Guanabanas that Joan wanted us to check out.

Back home to get ready to eat at Latitudes.  Tripadvisor #1 traveler ranking.   Food was great, setting was very nice and the Waitress remembered Bob and Carol from their visit last week.

Pat's Bananas Foster dessert complimentary for her birthday this week.

Sunday 

Decided to do breakfast then 11:15 church at St. Patrick.   Breakfast was at the Berry Fresh Café.   Everyone enjoyed their meals.  Back home to get ready for Mass.  Church was absolutely packed.  Don't see that much.  The other thing we have never seen:   Assistant priest said mass, so the Pastor was singing in the choir.  Yes he was a very good singer.

Back to their condo to pack up in the rain.  Said our goodbye's until next time.  Drove back to Fort Myers in the rain the whole way. The first part of the trip, the rain was very heavy.  We took the southern Lake Okeechobee route.   Fort Myers ended up with 2 inches of rain.

Just after we got home, Pat received a message that her 95 year old aunt Dee fell and broke her hip.  She will have surgery tomorrow morning.

Zoom tonight with siblings.  Everyone wished Theresa and Mike good luck on their move to Continuous Care Community this Tuesday.

Tom talked about all the connections he makes with people on his travels.  Last week at Dominican Republic he struck up conversation with 2 couples that ended up having homes on Eagle Lake very near Doris.   It is a small world.
