Playing at Pier Park

From where we are staying in Panama City Beach, we can walk in the sand on the beach with the water brushing our feet to the City Pier (only a mile away).

Once at the Pier we can enter the Boardwalk at the wonderful Pier Park ... here the streets are lined with unique shops, plenty of places to stop for some refreshments and eats, there is the Grand 16 - plex movie Theatre, a midway for the kids, and you'll also find an outdoor shopping mall.

It has something for everyone ..

It is a fun place on a sunny day when you need a break from lazing on the beach or on a cloudy, not so great beach day ... and for a Movie date on rainy days.

                                           

It's a colourful place ...

Located in the heart of Panama City Beach, Pier Park offers many options to entertain you ...

We even pretended to be Elton John and Elliot Gould on the pianos at Rum Runners.

 

Hide and Seek in Panama City Beach ...

We were hopeful for a sunny, lazy day on the beach in one of the cabanas ...

The sun is playing "Hide and Seek" ... Haven't found it yet, it's misty, fogged in over the Gulf of Mexico this morning.

We're going to walk along the beach rather than "laze" in the sun!

The view from our balcony ... there are a few vacationers using the cabanas, they do provide shelter/ protection from the "Sun" and the windy breezes!

                       

Quite the contrast from the day we spent in Biarritz, France.

Footnote ... Monsiuer Honey says I can't throw in a Biarritz photo ... and I said I can dream that we will go there again one day soon!

Coffee with Pandora

It's early Saturday morning, coffee and quiet time in Panama City Beach ... Waiting for the sun to break through the clouds and outside air temperatures to rise so that we may spend the day on the "Beach".

I want to finish reading my book and there is nothing better than being able to do that sitting on the beach with the warmth of the sunshine on your skin.

This year's weather is constantly changing ... here in the USA the weathermen name the "Winter" storms and this morning the latest one called "Pandora" is about to wreak some havoc over the country.

"Pandora" takes me back to our time in Tossa de Mar, Costa Brava, Spain last May.

This was a memory trip for Msr. Honey ... he had travelled here as a young adult on his first trip abroad on his own. 

So for awhile today I will do some armchair travelling back in time by looking at some old photos and reading some of the older posts about our week spent in Tossa de Mar.

I've included a couple to links from May 2014 ... These are just a couple of the posts about our time in Tossa de Mar ...

Hope you enjoy travelling to Spain from wherever you are today.
