siesta beach....

After leaving St. Pete, we headed south to visit one of Jay’s friends.  He wasn’t getting home from work until after 5, so we stopped in to Siesta Beach to spend some time at the ocean.



We parked in the parking lot & headed towards the beach.... it was a good thing we could hear the ocean & feel the sand under our feet, because we certainly couldn’t see the water! The fog was so thick, you couldn’t see the ocean waves until you were right next to it! Crazy!
We strolled along the beach, lgetting our toezies in the surf.  I was hoping to see some dolphins, but there wern't any.
There was tons of birds though: brown pelicans and seagulls, white ibis,  royal terns  and oystercatchers.



We enjoyed walking the beach; the sand was soft and white and lots of people were walking along the shore.

We got to Jay’s friends place around 5:30 on Friday night.  We met his wife and daughter
& hung out for the evening.
We crashed in their driveway, sleeping in our kick-ass van. We left in the morning to continue our vacation.
