Arrived at the hotel at 4 pm, and off to the pool. Met a delightful senior from Wisconsin. and together we chatted while soaking up the sun. Had heard of a free sunset opera at Loew’s Portofino Bay Hotel, and was intrigued. Called and received all the info making my way there after a short jaunt to Dollar Tree. Needed bubble bath for the evening soak.

For a laugh!
Once I arrived at Lowe’s found there was a guest lot with a parking fee of $45.00. Was grateful I had no one behind me so was able to back out before going through the gate. Have to be careful with these sort of fees. Also, florida has the highest volume of toll roads in the nation. At one point in my journey there was a 17 mile trip on a toll road costing seven dollars. Luckily, I found the alternate route button in WAZE and traversed back roads. Saw much of the area and shall we say enjoyed the ride…

For Another Laugh..
Back at the hotel walked International Way and attempted to decide what to eat for dinner. Every type of food imaginable is served on this road. And McDonald’s even serves PIZZA! Finally decided on Taco Bell and the manager gave me a free taco! Guess she didn’t want to make change at the end of the night, but how lovely. From there returned to the hotel, soaked, and read a book.
What a delightful way to end the day.
