It’s Thursday. Blew a tire in Georgia last night. I’ve never had a blown or flat tire before. I initially thought it was just the road because it was in shitty condition, but after a few seconds it became pretty obvious. I have a donut on it now which got us to Birmingham. In the morning I’ll be looking for a replacement. Right now, sleep!

It’s Wednesday. Spent the day yesterday doing some shopping and then hit Venice Beach for some sun. It was another beautiful day that was somewhere in the upper 80s, so I was pretty happy. Later in the afternoon we met some friends from Pine Island for dinner. We had some really good seafood and margaritas at a waterfront restaurant called Hooked. The band was playing and the food was excellent. Will have to remember that place the next time we’re down here.

It was fun while it lasted but it’s time to pack it up and hit the road.

It’s Tuesday. We spent the day in Sarasota out on Saint Armands Key yesterday. Lots of money out here. There’s an area known as Saint Armands Circle that has numerous shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Whenever we get out there, we have several stores we like to check out. There’s also a restaurant called Columbia that we eat at every time we go. They have the best mojitos and Cuban sandwiches that you’ll ever taste. Seriously, they’re authentic and mighty tasty.

Today we’re going to do some shopping in downtown Venice. We’re also meeting up with a friend tonight for dinner. Not sure where yet but I’m looking forward to it.
