Pasco Winter Quarters:
Did some hand washing this morning and hung outside to dry. Mike fixed the Fantastic Fan in the bedroom. After that we got our laundry together and headed over to Sandy and Dan’s. Had dinner at their clubhouse (which is beautiful) and then back to their house and played spades. Two games—we each won one. Left for home around midnight. Very cold night after a beautiful day.

Pasco Winter Quarters:
Drove to Ybor City late morning, parked, and went to the visitor center to buy tickets for the trolley. What a deal--$5.00 for an all-day pass for the two of us. Anyway, we got on the trolley in Central Ybor and got off at Channelside and had lunch at Bennigans. Channelside is a neat area where the cruise ships dock. There’s lots of restaurants, shops, and a couple of movie theaters. After lunch we got back on the trolley and headed into Tampa. The Ybor trolley ends at the Tampa Convention Center and then you can connect to two other trolley lines. We took the trolley around downtown Tampa and then out to Harbor Island—a very upscale residential area. Back on the Ybor trolley and stopped at the aquarium so Mike could check out the liberty ship docked there. It’s one of only two ships still operating. This huge ship was used to transport soldiers and equipment during WWII. Back on the trolley to central Ybor. Drove over to Sandy & Dan’s. Watched a movie and then went home.
