Ft. Myers day 3

29 March, 2015   0 miles today

I shouldn't say 0 miles today as we took a bike ride east along the river this morning for our second ride on the new bikes. It was a beautiful day but the winds were still up. We're glad we decided to stay another day. The ride was fun and we saw more of the city and some old homes. When we came back to the downtown area we spent a bit of time at Starbucks doing some people watching as Ann had a cup of coffee. Then around the corner to a tavern where we did some more watching as I had a beer. We had thought of having dinner at Firestone which is housed in a 3 or 4 story building with a bar on the roof. After looking at their menu we decided against dinner but went up top to see the view. As we returned to the boat about 430 pm. Mark from Mara Beel came walking up behind us and said hi. We didn't expect to see each other as we had exchanged emails last week and we would be a day apart. Us staying another day changed that. He invited us to docktails aboard with Becky, Steve and Gina from Island Time and Eddy Johnson from Spiritus. Eddie opted out of dinner so the 6 of us wandered from restaurant to restaurant until we found a short wait time. It turned out to be Cabo the Mexican place we ate at the night before. Another great time!!
