Island days. Cloudy. Cooler. Now Sunny!

The blog title says it. We've had varied weather. But the special part of our stay continues to be the large window and ocean view. So 'inside days' are cozy, but the sea is still with us.

Apropos of cloudy, cooler weather, along with collage, a lot of reading has occurred. But unlike our oceanside woman here, primarily through a Kindle app, which will never be as vibrant to look at as a stack of books! 

She has been reading The Sea Priestess by Dion Fortune; a mystical novel published in 1938.  Over the years, I have re-read that book many times when I spend time at the ocean.  The Hawk guardian is a Coopers Hawk, like the one who perches on trees right outside, but so far, not upon any books. There are indeed alligators on the island, but unlike our Reader's companion, they typically wouldn't be on the beach.

At first I was reluctant to go to the Nakama Sushi Bar because the outside menu board said cheeseburgers and milkshakes were available. Did not compute! But as it was nearby, I decided to check it out on the Web and discovered that so many people were happy to have a sushi place they could take their kids to, hence, cheeseburgers and milkshakes!  We thoroughly enjoyed our tempura, dumplings and soup. As you can see, I loved the eclectic ambiance.

Our time here is growing short. Till next time.

  1. So glad the island life has been a respite and inspiration for you, and provided visual delights for you both - what a boon, to be able to see the sea from one's window!

  3. I like that you stayed open to the possibility that you might visit the sushi bar in spite of the milkshakes...and then you found the milkshakes actually added to the fun, so families could enjoy it! Cloudy days at the beach can be still so delightful. We're glad you're making the most of it all!🧜‍♀️

    1. Yes, I too am happy I pushed through fear of milkshakes and burgers at a sushi place.
