Siesta Key, FL



We arrived in Siesta Key on Saturday and wasted no time riding bikes down the avenue to one of the whitest, prettiest beaches in America. The snowbirds are here in full force and are being bathed in warm sunshine and 70 degree temperatures.


We have especially enjoyed touring around town with Mary. We visited the St. Armands Circle and had a fine Cuban lunch at the Columbia Cafe which was begun in Tampa in 1905. We also drove over to Lido Key and then to the Whole Food store in Sarasota. What an awesome place for a vegan! And a stop at the Tiki Bar at the Sarasota Bayfront was also a good idea. Mary is the ultimate tour guide!
On Sunday we did four geocaches in the area and then met our friend Phil at the Dobe. These were Leon's first geocaches. He can hardly wait to go on more!
Today was spent by the pool soaking up some sun and fresh air as the temps should be only in the 60s for the next few days.
