Saturday morning the RV Tech came to check out the frayed cable on our slide-out. He was very nice and informative, but could not help us. We need to take it to a dealer to be repair. Probably need a forklift to take the weight off the slide while it is being repaired. Not what we wanted to hear, but so it goes. Appears that the RV repair business is rather busy in FL, and we might have to wait a couple weeks for an appointment. Time will tell!!!
We went to meet Barry and Deb at their CG and then we drove to downtown Naples for the Chalk Art Festival. They block off 5th Avenue and artists begin chalk painting their designs. There are many very talented people that participate. Had a great lunch while there and Deb and I enjoyed spending some time at The Best of Everything, a great, inexpensive jewelry store. Take time to check it out if you are in Naples or at their other store along Route 41 near Bonita Springs! Mid afternoon we headed back to their Airstream and they made us dinner. Then the game playing began. We were back to Willie around 9:30 after calling and singing Happy Birthday to our daughter, Lanie, who turned 35 today. Can we really have a daughter that old???? It doesn't seem possible!

| This festival draws quite a crowd! |
 |
| This artist did about 12 different painting on the road! |
 |
| All the paintings are done by mixing chalk with water! Takes quite a long time to paint on macadam! |
Yesterday was another fabulous day with Barry and Deb. Before meeting them, Ken and I took the time to walk around our CG, Club Naples. It really is a very nice resort with many amenities and everything is nicely maintained. Definitely a place we would recommend. Sunday was kayaking day and they had selected such a nice kayaking trail near their CG. The trail, The Shell Point Paddling Trail, is part of the Rookery Bay Research Preserve and has 18 markers along the 2 mile route. Near the end was a small beach area with picnic tables where we enjoyed our lunches! We had some dolphins that swam very near our kayaks, pelicans, and those jumping mullet fish. They are so silly to watch. It was a wonderful kayak trip.

We changed at their CG and then went to downtown Marco Island to the Sandbar for dinner. Then back to their Airstream for some game playing. It was another perfect day in Paradise!!!
