Christmas Lights at Captiva

 
Posted by Picasa

The beach in front of the Mucky Duck restaurant is famous for its wonderful sunsets. People gather there every evening in hopes of seeing the green flash that occasionally occurs just as the sun dips below the horizon. I have been there for sunsets when after the sun dipped down there was a moment of silence and then a spontaneous round of applause for the beautiful event.
The Mucky Duck has great food even if it is a bit pricey(but nearly everything is on Sanibel/Captiva) There is outside entertainment with picnic tables and gas heaters to knock the chill off this time of year.And there are adirondack chairs. The palm trees are decorated with Christmas lights. It does seem odd to see snowmen and Santa in a red flannel suit in the tropics.
