Rainy Day


Shelling on Pass-a-Grille Beach
Pass-a-Grille beach is beautiful and ever changing. Because of the wind and rain, the gulf was quite choppy yon Tuesday, more like the Atlantic coast. We stopped at a few spots on the beach to take pictures and watch the waves splash on walkways and benches near the water.

Good Sailing Day
At the very end of Pass-a-Grille, we walked out to the point, a favorite rocky beach frequented by shellers. My Minnesota Vikings windbreaker is a conversation starter, in this case the catalyst for a visit with a young Stillwater family and, later, a man from Minnetonka.

We had lunch at Daiquiri Shak (burger for Bob, white chicken chili and salad for me). By late afternoon, the sky was clearing ... but it was definitely still jacket weather. The weather forecasters seemed to enjoy the change from "80 and sunny" and I had another great swim in the chill of the evening.
