On Sunday, December 7 we watched the Fort Pierce Christmas parade, the huge Christmas tree in the round-about was lit, and then the trees in Marina Square were lit, as shown above. However, these trees blink white, red, or green in conjuntion with Christmas carols; the palm tree trunks are wrapped with thousands of lights and the oak trees have lights in the branches. Every night from 6-10 PM we could watch this light show from Palmetto Moon, and we became mesmerized by it.

On December 16 we had dinner at Yianni's Greek Cafe with Brenda & Geoff of S/V Silver and Karen and Lowell of S/V Changing Channels. Otherwise, many evenings we walk to the edge of the marina and go to the Tiki Bar or Cobb's Landing for drinks or drinks and dinner.
