The Nose Knows

Rich and I (well, truthfully it's mostly been Rich) have been looking for a new home for the 6 weeks before we leave for Prague. Our lease is up April 10th and we delayed our flight to Prague until May 31st. So we hopped in the car to Indian Shores to check out a condo for rent. We walked around the building and checked out the pool right on the beach. "What is that smell?" I asked Rich. And he could smell it too, which is to say it was quite an odor. Whaddaya know, there next door was the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary! That many birds in one place is bound to create a scent. So we wandered around. It was really fun to get to see the birds up close. Rich's brother visited us last month and wanted to spot a white pelican. Ahem. If we had only known there were this many of them just up the street!
