We spent most of the morning on our lanai, enjoying the coffee, the view, the heat and the sun. That’s pretty much our morning, most days. Then we get moving for a leisurely swim. We drove around the coast and noticed how low the tide was! It made certain beaches more treacherous to enter so we headed back into downtown and jumped in around the main dock.

We’ve not really been in the water here, and while it was really cool, there was too much sandy beach! haha But wow, the stuff we saw! I’ve uploaded this movie of a scrawled filefish. This is usually a very shy fish and moves away when you come close. But as you can see from the movie, this guy wanted an up close and personal interview!

And then – we saw something that I didn’t even think was possible. We have seen MANY and I mean MANY moray eels. The purple-spotted morays we’ve seen have all been around two feet, some less, some slightly larger. Well today we saw one that was bigger than the biggest green moray we’ve ever seen! Just never knew they could grow that big – and our fish book says they can’t! So there….

For dinner, we decided to eat at a place called Donna Giorgio’s Trattoria. Well, put it on your list! Terrific little restaurant, done in a jazz-influenced way, with a tip of the fedora to the Bossa Nova. The menu is constantly changing, and is kept on a chalkboard. We split a Caesar’s salad ($13.50) which was a smart idea since the salad was very large and very tasty. For the main I had the Tagliatelle Pollo Cream ($18.50) which was absolutely delightful. Pam had the Roast Lamb with Risotto ($23.50) and she said it was so delicious she’d order it again! For desert we split a tiramisu ($9.50) and again – it would serve 3 easily. So just enough for us! I am not much on taking pictures of food, but look at the size of this tiramisu! Dinner with a twenty percent tip was $100 even and worth every penny!
