Naples, Florida (2/11/00)

This morning was the first time we had the opportunity for a relaxing start to the day. We also took time to repack some luggage which was hurriedly packed in the subfreezing temperatures during the week of the ice storm in New England. 

After a late breakfast, we walked along the beach. We walked down the city of Naples dock being escorted by "Pete" the pelican. This bird was sleeping on the dock until we came along. He must have figured our crowd needed to be shown the sites. When we came to the end of the pier, "Peggy" pelican was there to greet us.

The children enjoyed our walk along the beach. They all liked looking for beach treasures. There were many unique shells and animal life. We saw Joanie, Jack's wife enjoying the sun on the beach. The children were happy to meet Aunt Joanie.

In the latter part of the afternoon, the children enjoyed a swim in the hotel pool. Cousin Zach was able to join in the fun, too. For dinner Aunt Joanie and Uncle Jack made a delicious chicken dinner. The red beans and rice dish and salad Joanie made were wonderful tasting!

That evening we worshipped at The Shalom Chapel, a ministry of The Shalom Scripture Studies, Inc.  It was a special treat to begin the Sabbath with Hebrew-Christians.

We took many pictures which we hope you will enjoy on our Photo Album pages.
