Today we saw several manatees and dolphins as well as some pretty pink birds which we think were Roseate Spoonbills.

The AGLCA has about 500 Harbor Hosts who are people who live in the towns along the route that volunteer their time to assist Loopers with things they may need (repair recommendations, questions about the area, rides to the store, etc.). Rick Swanson, a Harbor Host for NSB, noticed on the NEBO app that we were headed to NSB, contacted us, and asked if we would like for him to give us a tour of the town. He arrived at 6:00PM to pick us up and gave us a very thorough tour of the town which he so loves. We toured Flagler Avenue, drove the car on the beach, walked around Smyrna Dunes Park, toured Canal Street and ended with an amazing dinner at Riverpark Terrace restaurant.

The next day we biked to Flagler Avenue and walked up and down the street looking at all the shops and restaurants before having lunch on the beach at The Breakers. Later that evening, we went to the restaurant at the marina, Outriggers, for dessert.
