It's our last full day in St. Pete's and there was a lot to pack in. It's a holiday weekend so there are more cycling clubs on the street than usual. The Christmas tree lighting last night combined traditional music with a tropical setting ---- reindeer among the palms!
We passed the inspection this morning and got our depo$it back. Then the familiar route over to the Gulf beaches side and some goodbyes to favourite neighbourhoods. I object to fishermen feeding the pelicans --- shouldn't they catch their own? Up the road to Clearwater dolphins arched, vendors hyped, and the sunset backlit some girls practicing their busker act.
The Holiday Lights of the Florida Botanical garden provided the day's finale, like fireworks with your own soundtrack of oohs and ahhs. Truly magical lighting effects and images among the garden paths. My favourite --- the cardinal and blue jay, evoking home and a beloved sister. Pat's favourite --- the hummingbird: what else spends so much time with flowers??
