Lighthouse Beach Loop

I slept like a baby. By the time I got up, Anina had just walked back in—she’d already driven Jeremy to the golf course for his early tee time.

With the day starting beautifully sunny, everyone felt like doing something active. The two ladies headed out for an extended beach walk, and I did the same, but in the opposite direction toward the lighthouse and the eastern tip of Sanibel. The old fisherman’s pier was closed for reconstruction, lined with pelicans and seagulls—only a few bothered to dive for fish.

The warm afternoon invited us to relax: some sunbathing, a few refreshing dips in the Gulf, and a nice chat with our friends Pam and David, who are leaving early tomorrow. Meanwhile, Jeremy will soon be busy preparing two ribeye steaks on the grill, using the reverse-sear method. We’re all hungry and curious to see how they turn out.

Anina and Jeremy are leaving early tomorrow as well. Next week, we might feel a little lonely with our loved ones gone, but we expect Melida and Rolo to visit on Monday. And on Tuesday, we’re planning to have lunch with Yolande over in Cape Coral.Read more
