Trip to St. Pete

We are now in beautiful St. Petersburg, Fla.  We left our driveway at 10:40 a.m.  We came through some rain on the way over and hoped it would wash the blood off the windshield but, no joy.  We had the rental guy clean the blood off the rear left door handle but hadn't noticed the blood on the upper right side of the windshield until I went to mount our transponder for tolls.

Note Blood on Windshield

We are not sure of the source of the blood on the windshield, but since we are in south Florida, it was either that the car was used in a drive by shooting or hit a medium sized mosquito on an expressway.  The fact that there was also blood on the door handle on the opposite side of the car means that the victim, human or mosquito, was only wounded and was able to jump into the back seat on the left side.  We hope that the human survives and that the mosquito dies a horrible death, whichever outcome befits the events.

We arrived at our Hampton Inn and unloaded our SUV onto a large cart for its trip to our room.  Sue posed for a quick picture at the cart.

We are now heading out for dinner with friends.  A classmate of Sue's from Weston, Mass., has invited us over for a bar-b-que.  More later.
