Bradenton, FL

On our way down to the Tampa Bay area, we stopped at a vegan restaurant that we ate at a few years ago. Ethos is in Orlando and everything on the menu is vegan. One of the employees has the largest E.T. collection outside of Universal Studios. There are a few plastic figures spread out around the place.

Sheep's Pie for Rebecca and Chickun Marsala for me.

We arrived in Bradenton, Florida that night to stay with Rebecca's father. Bradenton is between Tampa and Sarasota on the gulf coast. On Saturday I woke up early and went to the Sarasota Farmer's Market.

Great market with live music, food vendors, and art for sale.

Found this guy on our van one morning. He stayed there as we drove to the pool to swim some laps.

Rebecca's dad had kayaks and an outrigger ready to go. We went out paddling 3 out of 5 days.

This beauty is an outrigger. I've never seen one up close before this trip.

While on the water we saw bald eagles, kestrels, an osprey, ibis, and many other flying creatures.
