After enough sun, we headed back to the car... and what turned out to be a bit of wildlife encounter. Firstly, a squirrel... a squirrel at the beach!! How strange... especially as I had only just fed them with Lisa recently in the much colder climate of London.
I also spotted a raccoon trying to get into the garbage bin in the picnic ground.
On such a nice sunny day, there were plenty of people fishing off the pier. From the pier you get a fantastic view out into the gulf, and back to towards St. Petersburg. Then, our final wildlife encounter for the day - wild dolphins! It was hard to get a good shot of them, but there was a family swimming along together.
Classic American Moment #3: We drove home via the coastline up to Pasadena and back inland again. Along the way we drove past many fast food chains, however, one sign caught my eye. This particular place was advertising "over 80 flavours of hotdog" - I didn't even know there were 80 flavours of hotdog! We certainly got a laugh out of that.
Classic American Moment #4: We also stopped at the giant supermarket on the way home - this one is much bigger than the store right near our building. It's so big, in fact, that they actually offer you motorised carts to do your shopping so you don't have to push a trolley up and down the aisles!
We are heading to Orlando tomorrow, so having a quiet night in tonight.
