Spring Break with Gina

Gina is on spring break and we got to spend a couple days together here in St. Pete.  I picked her up in Orlando and we headed back to St Pete.

 We picked up some things for lunch at the Fresh Market and headed to my apartment.  After getting the beach gear together, we headed over to Pass-A-Grille beach.  That's the Hurricane restaurant where I met Linda, Louie, Carol and Steve last Friday.

After being in that cold and snow, don't want to get a nasty burn!

Water still a bit chilly!

Beautiful day for the beach!

The Don Cesar in the near distance.

This woman was feeding the gulls and photographing them as they ate from her hand.

 After resting at the apartment for a short while, we went to Fez downtown for some Moroccan fare!

 Chicken and almonds in phyllo pastry with powdered sugar and cinnamon.  

Gina's chicken couscous.

For dessert we headed to Paciugo on Beach Drive for our gelato.  Banners are all over, welcoming visitors for the Honda Grand Prix this weekend.  Going to be noisy around here for a couple of days!  Lighted parade kickoff is tonight.

On Wednesday, Aunt Linda came up from Bradenton to join us for lunch at Moon Under Water.

We parked over near Vinoy Park and walked over to Beach Drive.  We saw this school of fish swimming around, maybe feeding on all the minnows that were also swimming all around. Every so often one or more would jump up out of the water.

It was a beautiful day to sit out on the porch area.

Is it snowing somewhere?

Linda's luncheon special.  Mulligatawny soup, chicken curry sandwich, and salad.

 My feta taboule and hummus

Gina's Moon hamburger.

After lunch, we walked up to the next block to get some of the frozen yogurt at My Yogurt Caffe, which recently opened.  You help yourself to filling the cups from the spigots and then can add various toppings and mixings. You pay by the ounce.  Was a nice low/non fat alternative to the gelato that we usually get.
