Florida Day 2--We See the Sun Again Briefly

Bridge to Punta Gorda. 
Though it was quite rainy most of Saturday after we arrived in Florida, it was clear, but cloudy on today.  I went for a run early--11 miles.  I ran across the bridge above.

When I got back, we got ready to head south to Naples for the beach.  Shane studied the weather and thought it would be clearer longer south.  Naples is about 60 miles south of Punta Gorda.

Shane was right.  Though it was mostly cloudy, there were periods of sunshine and we ended up with about 3 hours of beach time before it started to shower.  We got to swim a little and walk along the beach.  As we drove north, the rain came down like crazy.  We saw three wrecks before we got back.

Kathleen and Shane at the beach in Naples, FL.  Notice the blue sky!

A pelican glides along the water. The water wasn't actually brown.

I'm tired after running 11 miles.
