After our Discovery Cove time we went down to Sarasota to see Kim’s grandma. After a night there we went back to Ormund Beach to spend a few days at Kim’s parents’. And boy did it ever rain! I think it rained for three straight days. And not misty Seattle drizzle rain. We’re talking thunder and lightning and drenching downpours. It was pretty nice actually because it gave Kim and I some downtime to get ourselves in order before leaving the country: updating bank account info, planning our first night in Lima, etc.
Upon leaving Kim’s parents’ we took the greyhound down to Fort Lauderdale where Chuck and Joan picked us up. It was great to spend a few days with them, especially since I’ve never visited them before. Joy was home but Chucky was away in Jamaica. We went to the beach in Fort Lauderdale, cruised the beach in Miami, and went out on Chuck’s mom’s boat in the canals. We ate out a few days, and one place really deserves mentioning. I forget the name but it’s on Kim’s blog, and they served ice cream in mountainous proportions. It was a busy fun few days. I even managed to rescue their computer from a bunch of nasty viruses. Tuesday morning Chuck dropped us off at the airport and we said hasta luego a los Esados Unidos.
