...Continued from yesterday: On Friday morning, though heavy rain was promised throughout the day starting any minute, The St. Armands sidewalk shells ended up showing us the way to a nice breakfast spot, La Creperie Caffe, After breakfast, grateful that the rain was still holding out and for the opportunity to walk off the omelettes and crepe, ...where we strolled around the neighborhoods, admiring the plant life, We decided that in spite of the overcast skies the rain must be bluffing, so we drove from Lido Key back to the mainland to visit the Sarasota Audubon Nature Preserve, By afternoon it was obvious that the rain had changed its mind or at least postponed its intentions, and as the previously overcast skies were now sunny and blue, we decided to spend some time on the beach after lunch. The day before while eating our Cuban sandwiches at Columbia in St. Armands (see yesterday's post) we'd caught sight of some good-looking rice dishes on the table of some nearby diners, and so today I had a hankering to return to Columbia and try one of those dishes for lunch, After lunch we passed a gelato shop displaying selling the most irresistible-looking, not-to-be-denied gelatos, Then we returned to our suite at the Beau Lido from which we walked to the nearby beach, ...by which time the rain clouds had reappeared and the wind had picked up, making for rough waves, ...too rough for me, myself being a person who more enjoys looking at the ocean than getting wet even in the calmest of seas. Romaine made it back just before the belated thunder storm finally broke from the heavens. The rain pour down for the rest of the night, while we spent the night all cocooned and cozy, listening to the rain, ...and watching "Ghostbusters," To be continued...
