Veterans Day - Still cold

We completely overlooked that today is Veterans Day.

Naturally, the Sanibel town offices were closed, and so was the Recreation Center—bummer! Instead of working out at the gym, we opted for a brisk 5-mile walk in the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge.

At only 9°C, the first 15 minutes felt downright freezing. But once our bodies warmed up and the sun began to peek through the clouds, it became quite pleasant. We spotted several kinds of wildlife, mostly birds, though no alligators—they were probably keeping warm underwater.

Back at our condo, we had a late and healthy breakfast, and I was able to do some badly needed stretching.

This evening, our dinner guests are Pam and David from Canada. Ursula and Anina are preparing a delicious meal, while my contribution is the mixed fruit salad—and, of course, I’m on bartender duty 😂.
