We have been hoping to watch a sunset on the beach since being in the Keys, knowing that on the Gulf Coast we would get our opportunity.
It was a challenge to find a seafood dinner, not because of the number of restaurants, but by the traffic, crowds and prices. We’d missed “early birds” by mere minutes, and refused to pay $25 for a meal that 5 minutes earlier was only $10.99! But we did find a place that was affordable and amicable. Every license plate in the parking lot was out-of-state, and we chatted with folks from New England while waiting for our meal.
Then we raced to find a parking spot accessible to the beach! It may not have been the most beautiful sunset ever, and there was a very chilly north wind blowing right down the beach, but we enjoyed the soft white sand, found a sea shell, and connected in a way that only seems to happen when we share a sunset.
