He was really a little ball of fire and even knew some tricks. When the person he owned pointed a finger at time and made a bang sound Charlie Brown rolled over and played dead. Sooo cute.
After our purchase the rain (actually sprinkles) subsided and we were off to Hogfish. The Bar and Grill is in the Safe Harbor Marina where many of the fishing boats were. Most of the patrons were fisherman drinking and playing pool and telling tales of the one that got away. We sat on the other side to watch. We were in a Tiki Bar. Once you are in South Florida and lower these are everywhere. They don't all call themselves "Tiki Bars" but they have the same exposed frames and thatched roofs.
Bear, a regular, came in. He walks around the bar making sure there is no food left on the floors. He also asks the patron and workers alike if they are all set and need help finishing their meal.
We were just about to walk back when the rumble of thunder started. Bill went out to look and said we could leave in about an hour. Ok bartender, pour us another round of beer. The thunder seemed to be in the building it self with a low rumble and loud crack. I have notice that here it does not rain. Nope, it sprinkle then pours. Back home in Connecticut it could rain all day. A nice steady rain. Not here, it sprinkles and pours. As Bill says "You are in the tropics now".
And it poured, and poured and poured. After about an hour we walked back to Enigma. The streets were very flooded. No drains or catch basins here. On the boat we played a few games of dominoes which we haven't done in ages. It is supposed to do the same tomorrow.
Patti and Bill :-)
