Today is Sunday, and we have been here for an entire week now. Truthfully, the time has slipped by rather quickly, as we tend to keep busy one way or the other. It was as cold this morning as they predicted, so our aim for the day was to search for the famous falling ice cold iguanas.
On our way out of the lobby, we saw a large sign for a wedding reception this afternoon. Once again, we were surprised to see this, but then Florida has different regulations, and this crowd would be mostly inside a convention room.
Right up the road near the canal, we saw our first iguana laying across the sidewalk, trying to warm up. We almost tripped over it, as it laid there motionless. It looked like a young one, measuring about 30 inches head to tail. Of course, many photos were taken, even close up. Still didn't move. Later on, the iguana was still there, having moved a little. That was 2 hours later when we walked back.
We walked up to the Heron Lakes Shopping Mall, where most everything was closed (Sunday). Then headed back to Publix for a few items. We did check out the seafood, but could not find the shrimp cocktail that was shown on Cruise Critic. With this being a weekend, we think they were sold out.
Back by 1pm, we had a lunch of ham, turkey, salami, and cheese on fresh hoagie rolls for a change. We are allowed to visit the hotel's restaurant now, but still feel that we have to be careful. Better to get back outside in the fresh cool air. Taking the afternoon walk took us back to the canals. One of the football games started early, but we didn't pick it up until later. It was the Rams versus the 49ers, and it turned out to be a good game all the way to the end.
Dinner was a shared turkey BLT with a side salad. We also split a Margherita flat bread, while one of us had a cup of noodles. Catching up on Seinfeld episodes the rest of the evening. Still funny……….
