West Palm Beach, FL - Day 5

Christmas Eve, 2012.....

We are relaxing after dinner and a very nice day with our friends Lew and Joan Gedansky, who have just retired to Hunters Run Country Club in Boynton Beach, just south of here.  Lew worked at PMI with Greg and Joan was frequently my sightseeing partner on Greg and Lew's business trips.

They picked us up and we drove down to their "Club", showed us around, and treated us to lunch.  They live in the most amazing place.  There are about 900 residences, all either condo or single family homes.  There is golf, of course, but also about 25 tennis courts, numerous swimming pools, separate men's and women's card rooms, several restaurants....it's a place where one would never get bored.

After lunch, they drove us over to Delray Beach.  For Christmas Eve, this place was hopping.  Most of the stores were open until 4 or 5, and the restaurants were still busy.  There were a lot of people walking around....I wouldn't say they were shopping.....it was a nice day to just be out and about.  We walked over to the town "square" to see the largest Christmas Tree in the country....and to go inside.  Yes, you donate $1 and you go inside a Christmas Tree!
