home from one great sunny warm month in Naples, Florida. Diane Peterson graciously invited me, maria sturos and verna daavettila to stay with her in her family condo.

THE TWO ROWS OF CONDOS...POOL AND TENNIS COURT IN THE MIDDLE.

LOTS OF PICS ON THE "LANAI" (PORCH)
DIANE, ME, JUDY STORM, VERNA

DIANE'S SISTER IS AN ARTIST AND LEFT ART STUFF THERE, SO I DUG IN AND DID A COUPLE PNTNGS...(SHOW YOU LATER.)

OUR POOL...SWAM EVERY DAY, SOMETIMES TWICE...I STARTED OFF WITH 10 LENGTHS (5 LAPS) AND AT THE END OF THE MO, 30 LENGTHS (15 LAPS)
ME AND DIANE

A "SELFIE" WITH THE BOUGAINVILLA VINES, WHICH GREW PROFUSELY THERE

ON A DOLPHIN TOUR...WENT PAST MULTIMILLION DOLLAR  MANSIONS, FAB. BOATS..ON THE INTERCOASTAL WATER WAY. DIDN'T SEE ANY DOLPHINS, BUT BOATRIDE WAS REALLY NICE.  LOTS OF WATER TRAFFIC, NEVER SAW THE LIKES OF IT....EVERY SIZE BOAT, AND WATERCRAFT.  SO MUCH WAKE, THAT SOMETIMES THE WATER WAS ALL WHITE WAVES FOR A BIT. (WE DID SEE DOLPHINS FROM ONE BEACH)

JUST ONE SAMPLE OF MUCKY MUCKS HOMES...WE PASSED BOAT DOCKS BEFORE WE GOT TO THIS AREA.  THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR ALL THE BOATS, SO THEY ARE LIFTED OUT OF THE WATER WITH THIS TRACTOR CONTRAPTION AND WHEELED TO A BIG THREE TIER  BLDG....AND PUT ON A SHELF.
