Sunday on Marco Island

Yesterday we sat at the pool under a grass roofed hut because it was raining. After attempting to wait out the rain we determined that it was not going to stop for a while. So we headed into town and did some shopping. I picked up a souvenir beach towel to take home.

Once the rain stopped, we enjoyed a nice dinner at Quinn’s. It’s a restaurant on the beach attached to a swanky Marriott hotel here on Marco Island.

The view is gorgeous and during dinner we watched this large family have their portraits done. It was quite a gathering.

While enjoying an after dinner cocktail we sat on the beach taking some fun photos.

A dolphin swam by. It was a magnificent sight. I sure wish I could get a photo of them but they moved so quickly it was impossible. When we headed back to our condo we saw one of the cave owls that make these really cool nests on the ground. They are protected so the nests are cordoned off. For a tiny owl it sure had a loud screech. We tried to get a shot of it in the dark but it was as elusive as the dolphin.

We finished the evening with facial masks in our bathing caps then called it a night.
