Description: Exploring local finds in Wisconsin, the Midwest, Florida, Hawaii, and Wherever we are
We had a great day yesterday! We ventured out of the house and jumped into activities wisely, but without reservations. After waking up early, we ventured to downtown Punta Gorda for the farmer’s market. The market just opened up last week, and there are rules to be followed. We wore a mask and tried to avoid passing by others too quickly. Sure, there were times when we were within 6 feet of each other but that’s OK as we need to get back out into the world. It was great to be able to purchase freshly squee
We then ventured down to Pine Island as we found little french bakery in Yelp we had never seen — Pine Island Getaway Cafe . Very cute building with a solid assortment of backed goods. They also sell cafe con leche (we take ours with no sugar). But the star of breakfast was the very well done crepe. We enjoyed our food on their little screened in porch with other couple sitting on the other side. Again, we wore our masks to order, so not perfectly normal. But it still felt good to sit and enjoy a meal!
The reason we never saw this place is that it is in a commercial area off the main road. A very odd place to be, but reminds us of some of our favorite finds in Hawaii. Driving back, we ran into a seafood market that, again, was new to us. They provide produce to the restaurants and have a simple sign on the door with their availability. You tell the friendly worker and he brings it out with ice. We bought the largest blue crabs and soft shell crabs we have ever had!
