Finding “Third Place” #2 (Pass-A – Grille, Florida)

What do you typically like to do at the beach on a hot day in summer?

When it comes to “hanging out” with people in outdoor public gathering places in Florida during August it’s important to consider the weather when you do so. So I might have considered more clearly the oppressive heat and humidity along with the lack of wind movement during our brief stay in St. Petersburg area as an omen to consider as our road trip  vacation began. Very simply, it seemed irrational to consider casually conversing with strangers sitting on park benches, sea walls or picnic tables as anticipated at Pass – A- Grill Beach under such torrid conditions. For the most part as well, they simply were not there. Even the local  birds seemed to be hiding under trees to avoid the those powerful sun rays that so heated up the day. Thus with some regret then, Ruth and I both reverted to our I – Phones to best manage our minutes of idle beach time today.
