"It's raining, it's pouring.  The old man is snoring!"  Ha Ha!  Both true!  I didn't sleep too much last night from all the heavy rain & snoring.  Tired today!  But, that doesn't stop me from going souvenir shopping with Dave for the day.  We head back to St. Joe.  

We went back to Bluewater Outriggers and their swimsuit/beach store, Walter Green.  The rain was pouring down the entire day. What did we care?  At least, we're not on the beach trying to catch some rays.  We walked through downtown St. Joe and  and then headed to Mexico Beach.  It was a lot of fun stopping to all the little shops in search of the perfect gifts to bring home to our grandchildren. 

We ended the day by having dinner at a Mexican Restaurant in St. Joe's called Peppers.    We stopped there around 5:30 and were able to quickly get a seat. By 6PM, this place was packed and had a waiting line.  We both had their burrito dinner.  Dave had the steak and I had Pepper's chicken.  Both our meals were very good.  I was disappointed with my house margarita though.  It tasted more like a "virgin" margarita with lime & sweet & sour.  Other than that, the service was great and loved the atmosphere.  It was a refreshing break from seafood.
