Day 12 Treasure Island

Treasure Island's a little town just west of St. Petersburg on the Gulf of Mexico. We arrived this morning and took a drive around the area to get a feel for what's where, and it seemed as though it's not unlike Ocean City, MD - very touristy with lots of traffic. We stopped for lunch at a joint called The Wharf in Pass-A-Grille which is south of Treasure Island. The Grouper Chunks were excellent and seemed very fresh. Afterward we checked into the hotel. The beach at Treasure Island is huge, it must be a quarter mile wide. I got tired just walking down to the water. We had a drink at Ricky T's before meeting Bonny and John, good friends from home. They live here and suggested that we meet at Guppy's on the Beach. We had a very good dinner, I had poached Trigger Fish and Sylvia had Potato Crusted Salmon. It was a very nice evening. Got back to the room to see the end of the Giants-San Francisco football game.
