We four started out at !:00 to eat lunch at The Blue Shrimp restaurant, a new place that everyone tells us is good. The concierge called to be sure it was open and to make our reservation. Unfortunately, today it is not open for lunch. We were all set to get in the cab with no place to go. Instead, we decided to go to our favorite Italian restaurant, The Porto Bello. When we arrived, we saw the trolley drive by. We waved, and went in to eat.
Our dinner was delicious. It was our thanks to Rita and Ian for coming to help. Everything we like about The Porto Bello was in place. We sat by the railing and watched the boats and the pelicans. Also the iguanas. The service was excellent as was the food. After we ate, we walked along the canal and discovered several new bronze ships had been installed along the walkway. At the end, we found a comfortable spot and waited for the trolley. Twice during our meal we had seen the trolley drive by, so we felt sure it would come.
Unfortunately, after waiting 30 minutes, the trolley never appeared so we walked along to the taxi stand and got ourselves home. Our day did not turn out as expected but was delightful non-the-less. One day soon we will finally get to The Blue Shrimp.
