US’s most beautiful beach; but, nothing like food porn

Today was a postcard day at the beach in Siesta Key.  It got up to 88 (with a real feel of a charming 99) with almost no breeze and almost totally sunny.  A day for sunburns.  We both have spots like that. 🤬 (btw, RR isn’t reading this, who knows why, so I can say stuff like that without concern about rebuttal). 

Here’s the best pic I got of the day.  It was NOT a good picture day (because no one was on top of taking them, not because there wasn’t a good day to shoot)

Along with that one, there’s this one, which brings back memories of lost Snickers bars at Bandon Dunes two weeks ago 

And here’s your requisite lizard shot.  If you’ve never been here, this kind of lizard (you can convince me it’s a gecko) is ubiquitous.  If you were wanting to, you could sit around our pool and catch 20 in no time. I haven’t pointed this out to RR bc she’s not a fan.  But they are everywhere here. Rah.

No one remembered to take a photo of the mini donuts we had for lunch, which we warm and quite good.  In part, I think, because there was a phone call as we sat down to eat them.  🤬 

Dinner was at a sports bar, as no one had the energy to stand in line, or fight for parking, etc, at the good eateries here on the beach.  I was told NOT to take a picture of what we had.  So.

But we did go to the organic gelato place in Siesta Key and had these delicacies.  

On the left is RR’s “Teacher’s coffee” and the picture is to memorialize the “tiny cone” on top.  I had the lemon lime and puckered for the next hour.  

RR pointed out that in back-to-back nights we had ice cream from the top two places here.  Bravo!

I’ll finish our last full day here with this pic, which might capture some of the place’s beauty.
