Friday, November 25 - Destin

There is a Waffle House across the street here, too!  After breakfast, we walked to The Boardwalk and explored. David, the marina guy, called it "The Circus."   There was certainly a lot going on, and lots and lots of people.  Even Santa was there, set up under the palm trees.  We checked out a few of the charter fishing boat piers on the way back and admired the fish cleaning skills of the captains.  There was a barge of crates down one of the piers.  I guessed they were some kind of fish trap, but we found out they were cages that had been used to transport chickens.  The fishermen take the Formica out of them (yes, the guy said Formica), then drop one or more cages in a secret location to increase the fish habitat.


We had reserved a rental car (we were out of adult beverages).  Thank goodness Enterprise picks you up.  In addition to shopping at WalMart, we had to get some cash.  We have not used an ATM in years, and none of the codes we had written down would work.  Bank of America came to the rescue since we had a VISA debit card.  And we bought one year Florida fishing licenses.  For $100.00 we got two little slips of paper, not even a card

Danny grilled the turkey breast after dark (which could have been 5:00, it gets dark so early), but it was too late to eat, even for us, so we just tasted it and watched football.
