great photos! mahi mahi?? and you eat grouper? or is that an American name for something else? I used to live at a beach suburb in Sydney with open to the ocean baths. There was a resident, very large, very famous, blue grouper- popular snorkeling spot. I lived half a block from the beach and I could always tell when “Bluey” was close in- a traffic jam of snorkelers! The beach is magic, isn’t it?

Grouper is a fish found in the Gulf of Mexico. White flesh. So good. We love the beach. Sugar white sand, turquoise and deep blue ocean… just heaven ♡

Sounds like you are having a great time with your daughter, Colleen. I wish I could have joined you for that seafood dinner, it sounds great. I’d even have brought a few bottles of wine. Strangely, I hate going in the sea, but I love to eat what comes out of it 🙂
Have a wonderful time and I look forward to reading all about it.
