Sun rise with a half rainbow look. 20 % chance of rain today.We did an early departure 7:30 am and short run from Vero Beach because we wanted to get the Fort Pierce to see what was on offer at their Saturday farmers market. We were well served. It was interesting seeing the maybe 100 vendors of all sorts from a guy who carves using just a chain saw and sand paper-- but beautiful work ;to every thing you would expect at this gathering. Jewlery, tee shirts, veggies, home grown plants, soaps etc. were for sale. There were two bands playing in their gazebos. One on the side closest to the street's circle did great jazz. They were retired guys having fun. The other group was more varied but nice also at the other end by the food court.
For lunch we feasted on Italian sausage (Charles) and chicken Fajita(Sue) and lemonaide all fresh cooked on the spot. Mmm. Lunch was cheap and great with live music and the waterway to watch.
I had to include a picture for Jarett our grandson and his friends of an actual pitcher plant. I had never seen one in person. It collects water in the bottom and the bugs get trapped there to be later digested by the plant.
I tried a sample remedy for bug bites at a nautral remedy booth. It seems yesterday on the way to dinner we walked through a baseball field and we literally jumped on by a few enthusiastic dogs. I think I either have flea bites or no- see-em bites but it was rough sleeping last night. When we went down the islands the no -see-ems are unmerciful to me. I have even thought their bites brought on a bronchial thing twice while visiting the VBI's. But later when we went down for seven months that proved to be unrelated. (Vero Beach Riverside Restaurant was recommended by cruisers and is located under the bridge nearest the VB Municial Marina). Use the side walks !!
When you get to this town you notice much more pelicans than any other place we have been.
