Last post from Naples - can't believe it! We are running crazy and have made good friends with the package store with our seemingly endless trips mailing boxes. Almost, but not quite, done. Tomorrow is our last day, so hurry, hurry. Going to lots of our favorite restaurants for one last meal - fun fresh fish place Randy's and our favorite French restaurant - Escargot 41. Au Revoir Jackie and Patrick.
We're so excited to get going towards what is still snowy Star Mt., but feeling bits and pieces of sadness. It's been fun here... But as a friend pointed out, we can come back anytime.

The puzzle is how to get all the rest of our stuff in the car for the 2000 mile trek - Mark is tackling that project, which includes our 36 year old diffenbachia plant (travels everywhere with us) and a quite large vase of shells we gathered over time from the beach. Hmmm, could be fun.
Dinner tonight with friends at the beach - great food at the restaurant there. I moved us from the outside to the inside (air conditioning) seating however. It's 93 here today!
Mark did some last time fishing down at the beach and caught some ladyfish. Packing up the rods as we speak. I guess they will work in Colorado as well -lake fishing he says...
So excited - let our farm in Gunnison know we would be back and they responded right away. Farm eggs and organic meat here we come!
Oh wow. So much to say. Your orchids. I never see an orchid that I don't think of you. For like 100 years. Where did that start?
ReplyDeleteI am sure Escargot 41 will miss you, too. And, Andy and Andrea, your art teacher, Tai Chi, golfing buds and what the heck...can't even think of caretaker Bob's nickname. Sleep well Naples sea shells. Mark and Gretch loved you well.
