Downtown Punta Gorda

 

 

Some of the interesting things we have seen while in downtown Punta Gorda. 

 

 

 

See if you can find Mike in this tree.

 

I love how they paint old bicycles up in different colors and often use the baskets as flower pots. 

I want to do this at home. 

 

We didn't actually see this particular alligator but did see one here in this park we're in last March.  Yikes!

 

 

They have lots of eagles here.  We actually almost hit one in the car the other day.  It flew right down in front of us.  Can you imagine having to say, "We killed an eagle."?  That would be horrible.

 

We spent the day today walking around Fisherman's Village

It's full of neat little shops of all kinds.  We walked around the parks nearby and watched seniors playing pickle ball.  Mike and I think we would like to learn to play.  It would be great exercise. 
They have a pretty good size court here in Punta Gorda.  There were about six different games going on at one time.  It was fun to watch and talk with some of the players.  It's a mix between badminton and tennis and ping pong.  Lots of movement. 

Today was very nice, temperature wise.  We actually went walking this afternoon when we returned to the rv park in our shorts and flip flops.  Of course, the temperature is going down to 52 tonight but will be close to 80 tomorrow.  Nice.  Mike's planning to wash the jeep tomorrow, just in time for the showers and thunderstorms coming Wednesday and Thursday. 

Now it's time to chill.
