Another Adventure at the Beach with LeLe

Beach at Pass-A-Grille
Tables at Paradise Grill Wind on the beach picked up rainbow umbrella moments after this photo.
Noisy but cute seagulls begging for bread crumbs.
LeLe did not want her picture taken, but I did it anyway! Ha!

Well we left on EB bus 33, transferred to SB bus 36 all the way to Britton Plaza in South Tampa. We had a delicious lunch at Pitmasters BBQ. Then we wandered around Big Lots for half an hour or so, even did our nails in the shade while we waited for the 100X Express to take us over the southern most bridge to St. Petersburg. In St. Pete we caught the bus 35 WB and connected with the Beach Trolley. We rode down to Pass-A-Grille, put our feet in the water, had a snack at the Paradise Grill, got wet - the water was perfect, collected a few shells, then ran back to catch the next trolley. We took the trolley back to the mainland and caught the bus 35 EB then took bus 19 north through St. Petersburg, Pinellas Park and just south of the outskirts of Clearwater. It was on this part of the trip that some fellow passengers helped us figure out that we would be better off trying to catch the next to the last or last 300X Express [the middle bridge, that goes to downtown Tampa] because we were not going to make it all the way north in time to catch the very last 200X Express that ends up near the Tampa International Airport. Well it was a great success. We made it to downtown Tampa, took the bus 1 NB to Fletcher, waited at Sweetbay, got some subs and drinks and very creatively was driven the rest of the way by a USF engineering student from North Africa and made it home at 7:30 p.m. Whew! It was a non-stop day, with plenty of giggling and talking. It was so much fun. I laughed so hard I cried.
