So, we arrived at our friend Dave's place in Bonita Springs (really, he's in Bonita Beach on the barrier island) just before New Year's Eve. We spend just over two weeks there getting work done, visiting with our friend, and riding out the cold (for Florida) weather.


Our friend had a nice spot for us to stay by his place. There is a swimming pool in the lanai, but it was too cold to enjoy it. Seriously, most days were in the mid to low 60s, with nights in the 40s. Brrrrrr...

We had a nice view of the canal behind the house, though.

Every evening we would sit out front by the fire pit with Dave and his neighbor, Doug, and watch the sunset and the passing vehicles.

Usually it was too cold and/or windy to venture over to the beach to watch the sunset, so we just watched through the gap in the houses across the street.

One time, however, we did walk over to the beach for the sunset...

We enjoyed some wildlife visitors on the back dock.

Once, we saw a baby dolphin playing with a fish its mother had stunned for it, although we failed to get a good photo of it, lol.

Several times we went with our friend to some of his favorite bars and restaurants.

Once, we were treated to a beautiful full rainbow. It was actually a double rainbow, but the outer one didn't show up in our pictures.
