Sandy Comes to Town

Hi folks,

well what a day with the hurricane just off shore we had a bit of a bumpy day weather wise so off we went for some retail therapy to a local flea market. Well blow me down and that was quite easy with the wind we have been having, what a size, the place was enormous  over 30,000 square feet the leaflet announced, a bit big for a "flea market".

Well after that and a lovely lunch we braved the wind and went to the beach.

Who's idea was it to go to the beach??  

Not mine.

And guess what, they were Surfing.

No

The place was Lauderdale-by-the-Sea (Atlantic Ocean), I spent $2 to visit the Fishing/Sightseeing Pier while Sue sat in the pierhead cafe having a coffee, she also took some pictures and was amazed at the number of people at times on the beach.  At the entrance to the pier was this cute Dolphin, fork in hand/flipper ready for lunch. 

Well by this time the rain had eased off so a look around the town was in order.

What did we find, miniature dogs in a shop window.

some were in the window and others inside the shop, each in a windowed box with breed and date of birth on a card.  Priced at a little over $1,000 which is probably about right from what I know from home, first obedience lesson was free.

You should have seen the little outfits you could buy to complete the purchase!  I can just see me walking down the High Street carrying my little charge, couldn't expect it to walk itself, could I?

Back to the Hotel to regroup for long trip up the east coast tomorrow, by the time you read this we should be up near Daytona.

Thanks for looking.

nite, nite, Luv Mike and Sue. xxx
