Just a rainy day drive through Marco Island looking for burrowing owls, haircut in Naples, food shop and now settled for four days at Myakka River State Park just outside of Sarasota in a very soggy campsite but the sun will shine tomorrow.
Despite the pouring rain, the owls were everywhere sitting on perches outside their mounds exactly where Steve told us to look.
Haircuts on the other hand are always a wildcard on the road. Pulling into the shop parking lot where I had made an appointment by phone, there was a big barber's pole painted on the side, a sign advertising senior men's cuts for eight bucks and a bunch of guys inside getting buzz cuts. Panic set in and all instincts said run but I didn't and got a really great cut from Mari. Next week she will be opening her own salon and spa. To all friends living or traveling through Naples, if in need, go to MJ Salon & Spa, 4766 Golden Gate Pkwy, 239-455-2472.
The last treat just before the campground was finding a pair of sandhill cranes with one baby.
