No Maine-iac-Tourista vacation would be complete without.......
Guitar Playing.....
....a captive audience..........
.....more guitar playing....
....and steak on the Bar-B-Q.....
....and a little wine, beer, and shots....
Mary, Jean, Barbie & Ralphie!

and the "boys" got to jam

...all Ralphine wants is one more shot...

We had a blast!


The crowd was all there...to share some good times and some good memories!
Please don't tell me we have to go back to work after all this fun!

The Maine-iac's vacation would not be complete without a Clearwater Beach cruisin'

...and you can't tell from this serene vista, but it was bumper to bumper traffic!

Jean getting serious....rollin' up her britches, kickin' off her flops....

Another fabulous walk, the day was perfect!

Awe, Clearwater Beach, crowded, but relaxing...a view northward,
and the view southward....

Perfect timing to be seated and Frenchy's for dinner....
the Sunset Show is just beginning.....
see the setting sunlight on Jean and Hugh's faces?

Taking in the Clearwater Beach Sunset....



Peace-Full...........now, where's my Pina Colada?

Does Gary's face reflect the Sunset or Sunburn?
(or did I just touch-up the photo?)

The lingering rays of the sun.....


Makes for a nice ending to a Tourista day!

Hugh and Jean, our Maine-iac friends
start thier Clearwater vacation......
and we're along for the ride!
Brian, the King of Sun Cruise Lines in Tarpon
....takes us on a truely memorable eco-adventure....
I'm wondering is Brian a son of a son of a sailer?
Or just a new friend of a friend of a friend?

This sponge tour has nothin' on the Sun Cruise Lines!

This is pelican alley on the way through the Anclote River

Trash or Treasure.....Derelict or Charming Scene? You decide!

Brian, Jean and Hugh on the boardwalk, heading to the restored Anclote Lighthouse

A nice peaceful walk across the Key.

Gary, the relaxed poser.......

Mary, steps away from the Lighthouse.
