Sunshine, shuffleboard and sealife
A couple of weeks ago I went to Florida for a (fabulous) conference at the Poynter Institute. Given the long journey and the exotic destination, I took a couple of extra days to explore St. Petersburg and soak in some rays. Jill and Chad, my gracious www.coachsurfing.com hosts, not only let me stay with them for a couple of nights, but also took me to the beach, taught me how to play shuffleboard and pointed the way to delicious Cuban, Southern and Mexican food.
Not pictured below: my encounter with dolphins. I was out running along the coast as the sun was setting ... when out of the corner of my eye I saw a fin bob out of the wake. I screeched to a halt, walked to the water's edge and then spent the next several minutes watching a couple of dolphins swim around only a stone throw away. In my fit of excitement, I promised myself to never again make fun of tourists who work themselves into a frenzy over a moose.
Day one in the sun
At the docks
The St. Petersburg skyline
The waterfront
Picturesque
Green galore
Silky sand

Pretty bird
