Destination Publix - #4

Eventually we reached our destination...

....but we were kinda warm by then, so we decided to stop here for a drink before we did our shopping...


I'm quite sure everyone recognizes the logo on the front of this building.  Hee.  In the background you can see another building.  That is a Walgreens....basically a pharmacy, but kinda like Shoppers' Drug Mart in Canada....there are all kinds of stuff there..... so we browsed over there for a while and bought a few things.  Then we strolled over to Publix and bought some groceries.  Then, we decided that since it took about 50 minutes to walk that far, we had better start heading for home.  Heading out of the parking lot, we saw this bank that seemed to have a familiar logo on it too.  It was now after 4pm so of course it was closed and we thought it might be interesting to stop in one day and see if they were amenable to changing Canadian funds and such.


Notice how brown the grass looks!  Florida lawns and plants are just not used to freezing weather.  Along the edge of their parking area we saw these poor little palm trees - which were rather obviously damaged by the below freezing temperatures that we experienced last week.  Hopefully they will recover and re-grow in the near future.


Next stop, the villa.
