Good Friends, Sand & Sanibel

Today a couple friends who have been vacationing near Tampa, drove to Sanibel to spend a couple of hours on the beach visiting with those of us on the island that they know. Several of us met on the beach, off West Gulf Drive this afternoon. Three people that live on the island, two visiting here from St Louis, and two others from Holland. We took beach chairs, umbrellas and a few adult beverages. The temperature was 87, but there was a nice breeze coming from over the water to keep us cool. There were beautiful white fluffy clouds that seemed to surround the island, but the sun was shining brightly over us. It was wonderful sitting on the sand, in the shade, visiting, looking out at the turquoise colored water and watching the birds perform for us. So much so, that it was hard to leave. Six of us made plans to meet for dinner, two had to cancel at the last minute, but that gave us an opportunity to get better acquainted with the friends from Holland, who have been coming here for vacation, many years. This was a very enjoyable day.
