We are in Florida! We arrived on Sunday, and after getting into the condo, we headed to the beautiful pool.
There was some cloud cover, but the pool was beautiful and the company was fantastic. Unfortunately, rain started that evening, and along with it came a weird power problem where the condo power was turning on and off with disturbing frequency. This was a precursor to…..Tropical Storm Emily, which hit Florida Monday morning.
While we did not take a direct hit (it was North of us), we did get some collateral rain. There was a pretty heavy amount of rain, so not a big problem, but the constant waves of rain made for a day spent indoors playing Rummikub, napping, and eating.
After dinner we decided to venture out. We started with a visit to Tin City. A nice little collection of shops and restaurants.
Then we headed down to the Naples beach, and snapped a few photos. You can see rain clouds out on the horizon, we saw the storm come in, and we headed to the car when the rain began. Below the picture slideshow, you can see a short video of the wind and waves. (You can hear the wind.)
One cool thing on the beach was the turtle nests. I haven’t seen this before, so that was kind cool.
