Theresa and I planned to go dancing last night.We made our preparations and had an early supper so we could get there on time. Dances here are from 6.30 -9.30. Seniors you know. Years ago we would just be going at the time our dances end. At any rate we arrived to find the dance was a no show.
We decided to go to the Cape Coral Marina and community park on the river. It was a beautiful eve with a new moon and temp around 78. We walked out on the 1000 foot fishing pier and saw some good fish being caught. Many fishermen were enjoying the fresh air and warm temperatures.
After our walk we decided to go to another beautiful area called Coral Harbour. We did not realize it but an event was taking place here and there were thousands of families with children and dogs lining up to see Santa. We walked and sat for a while people watching and enjoying the live country music. I was not impressed with the bar room choice of songs which offended or should have, the young in the crowd.
There was a holiday atmosphere as a group called Hands Up were raising money to restore the hearing of a 1 year old child. Food, drinks ,raffles and just socializing was evident. We got in the mood and actually stayed until after ten to feel the good mood of the people. The children were the main attraction all dressed to have their picture taken with Santa. They also danced to the music and the boys chased each other through the crowd playing tag.
What turned out to be a failed evening turned out to be a fun night. You never know what you will find when you keep your eyes and ears open to the world.
You are so right! You went with the flow and still ended up enjoying yourself! Good for you both.
