Exploring

Well, we took time this weekend for some exploring - drove down to Picnic Beach Park area, which looked very nice, yesterday. 

Today we went to 'First Watch', billed as supposedly the best brunch place in Tampa, which if true, fuck it I'm driving to Orlando for brunch, because it was awful - Cat's salad was wilted, elderly and devoid of dressing, my potatoes were similarly well past best-by date, and the eggs benedict was very short on hollandaise, with eggs still partly clear from being so undercooked: plus slow and surly service.

After that disappointment, we drove out to StPetersburg, vaguely thinking of looking at the beaches, but we wound up at the Pier, where a thousand yachts seemed to bob their heads at us. Very fortuitiously, Cat needed a pee and we saw a public restroom, however while turning, we saw a beautiful looking bistro (Fresco's Waterside) right by the yacht harbour, with a park literally right outside the front door - obviously divine providence, so we stopped there for a late lunch, and it was sublime. So confidence in the universe much restored :D
