West Palm Beach, FL - Days 3 & 4

We are still in West Palm Beach, and we plan to be here until the 26th.  We got the same cold weather as most of the Eastern US over the last two days.  We actually had to turn on the heater...yesterday it was 43 degrees when we awoke and today the low was 52 this morning.  The wind finally died down and today was absolutely beautiful.  Short-sleeved weather is always right around the corner in Florida.

Yesterday, we walked into town for the Saturday Farmer's Market.  It took up all of Flagler Park and the fruits and vegetables looked really good.  Also, breads, seafood, and a variety of non-food booths which included arts and crafts, as well as local businesses such as real estate and chiropractic services.  I took a couple of photos:

After visiting the market, we walked over to City Center....a downtown outdoor shopping mall with all the usual shops with Macy's being the "anchor" store.  We wanted to shop for some "Florida" clothing, since we feel out of place in our "Maryland" clothes, and we were both successful.  I've fallen in love with a store called Fresh Produce.  Very comfortable and stylish clothing that fits me well.  Just for kicks, I took a picture of a part of Mall (we were there early before the crowds filled in).

After lunch, we returned to the boat, Greg worked and I took the dogs for a very long walk....across the Flagler Bridge, around The Breakers, then back across the Bridge.

This morning, Sunday, I did laundry, defrosted the freezer, and filled the water tank, while Greg worked to finish Chapter 2 of his book for IIL.  At 2:00 we called it quits and walked back over to the movie theater at City Center and watched Life of Pi.  I just finished the book and wanted to see the movie.  I was not disappointed.  Great movie, and a very good book!
