I can't believe I slept until noon today! Oh well, that was the plan; to catch up on my sleep. Anyway, after I wasted most the morning sleeping I ventured out on my bicycle in search of rentals. I rode to the real estate office that i've been seeing online on carigslist and it was closed or no longer a real estate office; we'll find out tomorrow. So instead I had a drink at Starbucks! Yep... they have a dunken donuts too. Then I rode around Port Largo where I discovered the community park. It's beautiful, safe and even has a community pool kind of like Pirates Cove in Englewood, Co. Very nice! I ended up finding a couple rentals, got some phone numbers and will give them a call tomorrow. Three o' clock rolls around and I've decided that I want to go to The Pilot House which is a glass bottom bar... I choose a table right next to the water so I can overlook the marina and watch the boats come and go..... I order my yummy conch chowder and take a little looksy to my left........a manatee!!! Just cruising along right next to the restaurant. After I get over my shock of already seeing something so amazing and I haven't even been in the water yet, I get some pictures. One of the servers at the bar grabs a pitcher of fresh water and pours it directly into Mr. Manatee's mouth... he loved that!
I'm done with my conch chowder and I'm getting ready to ride my bike home.... then it starts to downpour! Oh well, an excuse to enjoy a rum punch! So it keeps raining and raining and lightning and thundering; but don't worry I don't keep drinking and drinking :) At this point some guy (I think he was drunk) comes over and talks my ear off.... so I ride home in the rain.
Tomorrow I have a rental car coming to pick me up, i'll do some more exploring and finally get a chance to go diving!!!
