The bridge to nowhere

When Joel was here he called this the bridge to nowhere because that's what it looked like when you drove over it. Well, the other day Olivier thought it would be a great idea to walk the bridge.

I was starting to regret this decision since the bridge seemed to be uphill for an extremely long time and it was very hot. But then all of a sudden the walk was an easy downhill and we discovered a great seafood restaurant called Crackerjacks under the bridge.

Great idea Olivier!

Guess you were wrong Joel!

Come along for the ride

Most afternoons down here we take a ride down the Nature Trail - thought you might like to come along for the ride.

Pot Luck

If it seems like we are always eating around here that's because, well, we are always eating around here!
Last night was the neighbourhood pot luck get-together and a chance for us to take some photos with some special people before we head home.

Awards night

Team Canada and Team USA got together last night at La Bamba for margaritas, great Mexican food and fun ( mostly margaritas!).

Team USA was very generous with their accolades of Team Canada and presented our team with a newly created 2nd place trophy. I was proud to accept the award for most improved player and was offered a position on Team USA next year! If I accept they said they will change the name to Team U.S.EH. to make me feel more at home! What great sports they are!!

The tradition continues

The much anticipated and ever popular Team Canada vs. Team USA bowling tournament was held yesterday.

We played in memory of Del ( who started the whole thing 4 years ago) and so we were happy to have Joanne and Guy join our team this year.

Unfortunately, even with Joanne and Guy's bowling talent ( Steve told us we couldn't miss with them!) we still came in second but not by much.

The fun will continue tonight when we all meet at La Bamba, our favorite Mexican restaurant. We will be drowning our sorrows with 2 for 1 margaritas and Coronas while we plan next year' s strategy!

Music, fun and sun

One of Olivier's favorite events down here was this weekend -The Bluegrass Festival in Christmas.

We ate pulled pork, homemade ice cream, fresh kettle corn. I shopped at all the artisan booths and Olivier got to listen to more bluegass music than I let him listen to on SIRIUS!

And this year I actually learned why this beautiful little town down the road from us is called Christmas.

Thanks for coming with us Shirley and Don. Hope you had fun too.

You never know!

Around here you just never know who or what you might run into so we always try to remember to throw the camera in the golfcart. Today we went up the street to pick up the mail and saw 2 turtles, 2 gators, 3 sand cranes and a stealth bomber. The stealth had us a bit worried for a second until we remembered the TICO Warbird AirShow was in town.

Fantasy becomes reality

The newest cruise ship in the Disney fleet, the Fantasy, arrived from New York on Tuesday. It will be here for the month of March to prepare for it's maiden voyage.

The Grill

We had a great lunch today at Grills in Port Canaveral.
It's a really good seafood restaurant and it's good to know that Regis and Kelly and all the neighbourhood pelicans agree with us!

Who gives a hoot!

Who gives a hoot?

Well, look carefully at this nearly dead palm tree near our place and you'll see.
