Venice, Fl


Brrr. A cold front came through but 60 degrees sure beat 30 in Arkansas. So it was south to explore the area around Venice with a visit to RV World. Along the way we drove out on Casey Key, an area more similar to Florida past with not such large mansions lining the shores.
South of Casey Key we drove down Venice Avenue through a cute shopping district loaded with tourists. Then we stopped at Sharkey's on Venice Beach where many were huddled inside for lunch due to the windy conditions on the beach. That did not keep us from driving down to Caspersen Beach to find some shark's teeth since we were in the shark tooth capitol of the world.
We then went to Nokomis Groves for some fresh grapefruit juice, oranges, and a delightful chocolate and lime twist ice cream cone! Bombax trees were all around us. What a day!
