Day 23

Sunday, Feb 21, Jack and Loy flew down for the week. Their flight arrived at 1:35 at the Punta Gorda Airport so we left about 11:30 to make sure we were on time. The drive should be about 1.5 hours but allowed 2 hours. Flight was on time but had to wait for the luggage. The day was sunny but on cool side. Thought we would stop for lunch in Punta Gorda but found no place there. Next idea was to stop at Ft Myers beach but traffic backed up so we turned around and went to Publix to shop for provisions. Loy also ordered some of the Cuban coffee she likes and we'll pick next week. Since it was so late when we finished shopping, we headed to the house and had some snacks.
We decided to have a casual dinner at Lazy Flamingo and also let Jack and Loy experience some of the local flavor since this a neighborhood place. Larry, who was at the counter taking care of the orders, was a character boarding on being rude...did not care if ate there or not. Luckily, we walked in and sat at the last table available without any wait. Started with beer and oysters and conch fritters. Jack and Al both ordered the 1/2 Caesar salad and 1//2 Blackened Shrimp. Loy had the fried oyster basket and I had grouper basket.
All enjoyed the dinner ...fun place.
