We wanted to go to Matlache because we had heard it was so laid back and charming. It is right out of the 50’s. The Barry’s were up for the trip and off we went at 11.

We ate lunch at a cute little Italian Restaurant. I had a yummy soft shell crab sandwich and Kelley had Gulf Shrimp. There were little shops to look at, a bridge that has to raise for almost nay size boat that comes by, and a fish market where we bought fish for our trip.

Here is a fish tail for you:

A delightful afternoon! In the evening, we met again with Colleen and Mike, the Barrys, and the Fines (friends of the Barrys) to toast the sunset, and I am sure, the first rate mates we all have!
