[singlepic id=140 w=320 h=240 float=left]To make up for yesterday the weatherman gave us no sun and much heavy rain ( like summer in the tropics).<\/p>\n
This morning we did drive to downtown Tampa to the Port Authority area to visit a tall ship named Gunilla.\u00a0 She is a Barque of three masts and is of Swedish registry and is about 150 ft length.\u00a0 Ostensibly, she is a training vessel for the youth of Sweden to learn a post high school level trade in a nautical environment.\u00a0 Our guide, Anna, was blue eyed and blonde and a social science major.\u00a0 I am not sure what other specialties were represented.\u00a0 The tour was sort of a disappointment to me as I had envisioned\u00a0 a below decks tour – no such luck.\u00a0 It was all above decks and cursory but still we were on water again and it felt good to bob around.<\/p>\n
SAM was not too happy about our direct return to the house.\u00a0 She wanted to roam around a bit and let me know of her displeasure.\u00a0 However, since today is my birthday I prevailed but we will go out tonight to Sonny’s for dinner.\u00a0 Just what I need as i am getting fatter and fatter.<\/p>\n
As I write the rain continues as can be seen from the radar pic I snapped a few minutes earlier.\u00a0 My old buddy Daryl sent me a birthday greeting.\u00a0 Every year he is\u00a0 faithful to recognize my birthday.\u00a0 BTW-his birthday is the same day as mine (;-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
