Day 3 May 16 Sat


Spent all day at rv site. Picture is view from our rv overlooking Gulf of Mexico with St. George Island in the distance. I took a long walk along the shore which is the shoulder of Route 98. Brand new stones in place at water's edge and new sod being laid down. They start with a mesh of pretty thick rope and then the sod which is backed with a small chicken wire. All to prevent erosion and wash away in case of hurricane I guess.
Just relaxed today - part reading and mainly dozing. Jack did some electrical work on rv. Talked to our rv neighbor who has been living om rv for 18 months since hurricane destroyed his place on the island. Can't believe he has been here that long but work is tough. Said they have essentially rebuilt 98. He is a contractor and FL native. Bradenton got too big for him. Has a great dog that goes to work with him every day. Fetched pine cones for us. Too cute. Also worked some on my sumi-e drawing but hard to sit at picnic table. Absolutely gorgeous day and so breezy we had windows open in rv rather than AC.
