Ted and I picked up the rented Street Glides and launched from Tampa for Punta Gorda.<\/p>\n
For now – I’ll just jot down a few bullets from the many places we visited.<\/p>\n
-Clear Water
\n-St Pete’s Beach
\n-Casa Key (38M$ houses)
\n-Punta Gorda
\n-Passe-a-grille (great breakfast)
\n-Treasure Island
\n-LIDO Beach
\n-Tons of other beaches<\/p>\n
Ted and I stopped at PGI and spoke with a number of folks who live there. That was a valuable series of discussions, and just a nice way to spend a day.<\/p>\n
Oh yeah-add Anna Maria Island (maybe Anne Maria Island). Captain John Stiles lived there. He was a retired Sub Commander who conducted flag ceremonies and played the anthems of all five miitary institutions every night until he dies. Really pissed off the locals. I know all of this because the locals repeatedly befriended us and put forth all the history.<\/p>\n
I’ll add more as I think of it…. <\/p>\n
