It is finally starting to warm up again so it's time to head back to St. George Island. We packed up some sandwiches, water and blankets and made the 30 minute drive over the bridge to the island. It was beautiful, sunny about 70 with a breeze off of the water. Because of the breeze we kept our sweatshirts on with our shorts.. We walked about an hour down the beach picking up shells as we went. We figured we covered only about 1/2 way to that end of the island. After an hour we stopped to eat our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, read and relax. There was no one else down that far on the beach so we had it all to ourselves. We walked back which ended up being about 5 1/2 miles. Along the way two blue herons were posing for photo ops. On the way home we stopped at the Pesky Pelican for dinner. It had been recommended by someone we had met on the beach. It was very non-descript on the outside (we almost passed it) but the fish special was good, the beers went down smooth and the dessert hit the spot. Then it was on to the condo to get cleaned up and do some more reading.
