This is a gem and Fridays are free admission making it even better. Jeff and I took a stroll in the sculpture garden and then headed to an interesting photography exhibit.
Best for me was the first floor of the newly renovated building. There I found a beautiful Chihuly glass ceiling with an ocean motif. Also another photo gallery with extraordinary pictures. The permanent collection had several Impressionist paintings that I enjoyed seeing. Will definitively go back again.
Afterwards we drove towards Palm Beach passing Mar-A Lago. 45 was expected to fly in a little later and there was security everywhere including this Sheriff's tower.
A bit down the road I spotted a Patriot Missile Battery just in case somebody tried to send a missile to the area. We ended up at Bennys' on the Beach in Lake Worth for cocktails and appetizers. Great to see, hear and smell the ocean and enjoy good food and drink. We headed home and did not bother to have dinner.
Saturday we slept late and awoke to another beautiful day. Elaine and I headed out to Wakodahatchee
Wetlands to walk and see birds. We met my friend Phyllis there and walked the mile long boardwalk. Lots of nesting wood storks and many anhingas. No babies yet in the nests.
Also saw great blue herons, tri-colored herons, egrets, cattle egrets, coots and gallinules (moorhens) and purple gallinules.
Lots of iguanas and two marsh bunnies.
On the way out I saw a fat, coiled snake in the grass below us. Ugh! I love this place and could go back often.
Now it was time for lunch and we chose another deli with more split pea soup and a tasty turkey salad sandwich. Now it was time for shopping and we hit the sale at the Eileen Fisher Company Store. Got a pair of shorts and a fancy tee shirt and headed home. More napping and then headed out to dinner, wanted to have shrimp near the beach, but traffic was terrible so we ended up at a sports bar near the house which was fine.
