Almost made it to the beach today
Posted by Fay on July 30, 2009
We had plans to go to one of the Naples beaches today but phone calls and visitors kept us home until 11 a.m. so we got a late start. We had to take the battery for the gate in to get checked out and by then it was 12:30 and we were hungry. We went to beautiful old downtown Naples and had lunch at Tommy Bahamas Restaurant. Bob and I both agreed it was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. The island decor and music is very easy to enjoy. We shared a fish taco entree (fish and cilantro and other wonderful vegies and seasonings on a soft tortilla type shell) with each of us getting a taco, and a wonderful garnish of sweetened fried plantains with a wonderful sweet tropical dip. We left room for dessert – pineapple cheesecake, smooth cheesecake with a crust of carmalized pineapple. We will definitely be back.
By then it was after 1:30 and the feels like temperature was 104 so we decided to head home and save the beach for Friday. Got home to take our afternoon nap just before a big rain shower hit.
Had we gone this is what we would have seen at the historic old Naples Pier.
