Yesterday it was -12 degrees at 7 am in South Bend. That was the real temperature in degrees, not the wind chill. We did not even venture out until noon when the temperature rose to 0 degrees.
Tonight we are in St. Pete's Beach where it is not warm but it is 60 degrees warmer than -12! We are in a lovely 6th floor condo--Penthouse 3--at the Sunrise Resort. We walked to Publix to get some groceries, had a happy hour in our condo, and then crossed the street to Tradewinds Resor's Palm Court for seafood risotto for me and gnocchi bolognese for Jim. The full moon is beautiful over the harbor.
-------------And the sunrise was also spectacular over the harbor in the morning.
My first night here was not one of great sleep. I wandered some and adjusted to unfamiliar sounds and hip pain. But eventually, I found a place of peace and plugged in the heating pad and slept.
I don't plan to blog daily. This vacation should be one of routines of reading, walking, and eating! I wish it were warmer (it was 39 degrees at 7 am) but it will get warmer this weekend. At least we are away from snow--and for our kids, the "bombcyclone" in the Northeast.
