Monday November 24th

We love Venice--biked around the town today for about 3 hours--I have never seen so many flowers--apart from the bougainvillea and  habiscus of every colour,-there is all kinds of plants and trees I have no idea what they are!!
This is what the locals call an 'orchid tree'--
the fragrance is wonderful. There were bushes with blue, yellow, orange and pink flowers---just wish I could include pics of them all.   Even the bird of paradise are in bloom.
The sand here is nearly black--very different from the last beach we were at.   They find sharks teeth along here--just little black ones.  
One gal on the beach showed us one.    Finally!!!  I got some pictures of the dolphins--but not quick enough to get one of the guy who did a leap right out of the water.
We've gone out to the end of the pier the last couple of nites and watched the sun go down over the gulf--along with about 100 others--we see lots of Ontario license plates in the parking lot.  I guess we're not the only ones who like Venice.
