Dunedin

Mike & Gay Kelly from Irish Attitude surprised us shortly after we arrived in Dunedin.
We first met them in 2013 on the Hudson River and travelled through Canada together. 
 
 
 
 

We had a reunion with our 2013 fellow Looper graduates Leila & Rick from Sun Gypsy and Ron & Jan from Adagio.
 
 
 
 
 
Mark & Vicky from Blue Willow and Connie & Jim from Patriot joined us for a 10 mile bike ride to Tarpon Springs!
 
 
 
An osprey keeps a close watch on us as we pedal along the Pinellas Bike Trail. 
 
 
 
 
 
Happy to be off our bikes, we pose by a vintage sponge boat before rewarding ourselves with a wonderful Greek meal.
 
 
 
 Docktails at Marker 1 Marina on a "cold" evening with a group of current Loopers.
 
 
 
 
 
We always enjoy walking or biking on the Pinellas Trail.

 In front of the old Dunedin railway station, a mother and daughter hurry to catch the train.
 
 
 
 
 
  
 Creative artistry can be found everywhere in Dunedin.
 
 
 
 
 
 
This fun, fantastic private patio and bar along The Trail is in someone's backyard.
The owner said he's actually had people "make themselves at home", thinking that it is a pub.

Our friend Ruth, who lives in Tarpon Springs, was a Wet Hen sailing instructor with Linda in Hawaii. 
 
 
 
 
 A group of current Loopers asked us to join them for dinner at the Ozona Blue Grilling Company.
Five Star meal and Five Star company!
 
 



Taking advantage of the awesome walking trails so we can . . . . . . .
 
 
. . . . . . . indulge in more ice cream!!
 



Linda, Eddy, Jim, Connie, Mark, & Vicky gather on Patriot for the championship Catch Phrase play-off!
 
 
 

We rented a car and drove to Mississippi to make special memories with our beloved little "Sis".
The Dairy Queen Blizzard we delivered to her at the Hospice Care Center brought a huge smile!!
 
 
 
Marti always lights up when Eddy plays her guitar.  Such sweet memories singing together at her house!
We have had the honor of knowing and loving Marti since she was 6 years old! 
She continues to embrace life with courage, kindness, and faith. 
 
 
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from the land of the manatees!!
