Well I guess I was in a bad mood yesterday! Sorry to have rambled on so about the heat. Thankfully we ended up having a late afternoon thunderstorm which cooled things down considerably. By early evening it had tapered off to just a light rain with a little thunder/lightening. I decided to take a walk anyway as I wanted to get to the pharmacy before they closed. I had a pleasant, although damp walk through the charming little town of Apalachicola. It's without doubt the most adorable town so far. A beautiful little downtown area next to the riverfront filled with shops, galleries and eateries. I walked about 2 miles to the CVS in a bit of a circuitous route - as I wasn't really sure where it was. I went past the old town cemetery which had some graves dating back to the early 1800's. The area is filled with old colonials and Victorians homes many of which are now bed and breakfasts. The funniest thing I saw was a propane store which reminded me of King of the Hill --- I didn't know those things were real. I had a good chuckle over that.
After my walk I enjoyed a late dinner at a really good Mexican place downtown. It wasn't very crowded so I stayed for a couple of hours enjoying the air conditioning, reading my book and feasting on everything from margaritas, chile rellenos, and fried ice cream. Before waddling back to the boat I took a little Margarita inspired walk about midway across the bridge to see a really high view of the bay. Not really a pedestrian walkway - but I really wanted to see the view. I'll admit it was a little spooky walking back to the marina in the dark.
Ants were just begining to form a little road across my dock lines - and I hit them with spray just in time. I cleaned up a bit and enjoyed a cruisers dream - a shower and clean sheets all on the same night :-)
This morning I decided to stay one more day. It was cooler and I felt the need to put on some girly clothes, fix my hair, and do town things. I've spent most of the day at the library working in the comfort of air-conditioning. It's the funniest little tiny library - actually smaller than the first floor of my house! When I arrived - lucky me , the day camp was here with tons of little ones under the age of 7 picking out books. Obviously no one had told them about the whispering in the library rule - and the adults were actually louder. They were really cute though and left after a few minutes. Then the librarians got together and practiced a loud fireworks cheer. Yes, this is a very casual library where people seem to have fun. I stepped out for a quick lunch at a little tiny Chinese buffet that was actually very good. They didn't have a huge selection - but amazingly it was all my favorites.....
