Dec 28, 2014. Punta Gorda

You absolutely cannot believe how wonderful the grass feels under your feet.  Bitts and I got to take a walk and do our thing.  Bitts really did hers!!  A bit muggy today, so Rich had to turn the air conditioner on.  We will stay in the marina til tomorrow, because it costs $2.00 a foot and Rich said we could just go and hang on the hook.  They do have a package where you can pay $17.00 a day if you anchor out and want to use their facilities.  Kathy and Rich took long showers, did laundry, and then Augie picked them up so Kathy could watch the Packers game at their condo instead of going to the sports bar.  They had a great time, plus her Packers won!  Tomorrow they will hang out at the marina until they have to go anchor out.  Tuesday, Augie and Rena will give them the tour of Punta Gorda homes on the canal.  Kathy and Rich really like this place, and it is only a short distance from Ft. Meyers.  Very quaint old Florida feel, with cottage homes in the older part.  Most of the city was wiped out with Hurricane Charley, a cat 4 that hit here in August of 2004.  It is like a brand new city but still has that nostalgic feel, or so Kathy says.  Us 4-legged creatures have yet to see it, and probably won't.
