We had a fun beach day and then went back to the beach at sunset and watched the drum circle. This is a local phenomenon that takes place every Sunday evening. A meeting of drummers happens on the beach and they perform drum beating ceremonies for as long as the audience keeps them going. It is like a tribal ceremony straight out of Africa! Very entertaining too!
We have had a string of beautiful 80 degree weather this week and have been enjoying it. Yesterday we rented a canoe and explored the Dead River and the back bays of Lake Griffin. We saw half a dozen alligators as we rowed around the shoreline.
We are spending a few days here with the kids and then start moving back north.

The fishing pier at Pensacola Beach. Sheepshead were biting and lots of people fishing.
