Golfing and chillin at the pool

The longer we stay here the more we say "it just doesn't get any better than this".  The town of Okeechobee isn't the greatest in terms of restaurants, movie theaters, shopping etc etc etc.but we just don't leave the park that much.  I have been playing golf every morning and my game is actually improving.  Yesterday I was 2 under par through six holes before choking on the last three with a bogey, double bogey, and a bogey to end two over par. Keep in mind this is an easier course than the course I played in Warsaw but still a challenging course for golfers of every ability. This morning I played golf in a nine hole scramble with about 15 teams and ended up tieing for first at six under.  Each team had four players with different handicap levels and you had to use at least one drive from each person.  While I am playing golf Huli gets her alone time and then we hit the pool where they were having a bratwurst barbecue for lunch to raise money for the Children's Cancer Fund.  We end up at the pool almost every day at some time.  We were there last night until after 10:00 pm.  I actually prefer going in the evening at about 4 or 5.  It's a little cooler and the sun is not near as hot.  You never have to worry too much about the pool being over crowded since they have two pools. 

Below are some misc pictures Huli took over the last week or so. 





This "housing complex" is on our way to Palm Beach in a little town called Canal Point.  As I have mentioned before the poverty in central Florida is everywhere.  You really see the haves and the have nots on this trip to the coast.


Our trip back to Indiana in the ice.  No wonder it took a while to get my motorcycle to start once we got home,


Today at the pool and the bratwurst luncheon.


 
 One thing we quickly learned in Florida is that you don't need to worry about your physique at least as to what other people think because no one cares.  As we grow older we all seem to have our flaws and people here don't let that stuff worry them. 

 This gentleman in the middle was really in to dancing.  I believe his perception of his dancing ability was influenced by the amount of alcohol he was drinking.  I can relate to that.  He was very entertaining though.
