The last few days we’ve been in vacation mode, walking in the neighborhood, sitting by the pool, strolling on the beach, and generally doing very little. Sort of like being home during a pandemic, but with the possibility of spending time outdoors. Weather has been sunny with temperatures in the upper 70s every day.
The Pompano Beach Municipal Pier is a nice walking distance from us, and a popular spot for both tourists and local fishing enthusiasts. It is also well-populated with brown pelicans, as we’ve noted previously.
Pompano Beach Airport is just 2 miles west of our location, so there is lots of activity in the air overhead. It is also one of the bases for Goodyear’s fleet of blimps. We’ve caught sight of the blimp several times. Friday and Saturday appeared to be training days, and one approach to the airport was right over the condo!
One of our favorite pastimes is to walk to the inlet near the lighthouse and to watch the boats going out to sea and returning once again. Boat traffic is particularly heavy on the weekends. Sunday afternoon was quite a parade, with boats of all sizes and descriptions.
Friday was moving day for us. The first week we were in a 2-bedroom condo on the 6th floor. This week we are in a 1-bedroom on the third floor. The 1-bedroom is plenty comfy for the two of us and the sunrises are just as colorful. We just see them from a slightly different angle.
