After lunch, we headed back to the cottage, and several of us spent some time at the beach. I should mention, at some point while we were all gathered at the cottage, the skies turned black, and we observed some intense winds blowing from all directions. We discovered the next day (when we purchased a newspaper) that a tornado had formed the day before directly over Ormond Beach, whizzed past us and touched down just south of Daytona, severely damaging 161 homes (only one person was injured, thank goodness!) We are assuming that the tornado was a result of all the hot air emanating from the cottage.

Friday night, we went to a great little restaurant (discovered earlier in the week by Sue and Harry) called Betty’s Café where several of us dined on fried lobster. Yummo!
