March 3, 4, 2013. Movie, Chilly and Pinellas Trail

On Sunday it was too chilly and cloudy to spend a lot of time outside (12 celsius) and so I went online to look for a movie theatre. I found several within a 10 mile radius. We decided to see "Silver Lining Playbook" for which Jennifer Lawrence won an Oscar. It was an excellent film.

Sunday night was cold; down to single digits celsius . Fortunately we have a great heater that ran all night. We awoke on Monday morning to bright sunshine and warmer temperatures....up to about 18 celsius by around 10 am. I had been researching things to do in the area and came across The Pinellas Trail. This rails to trails biking, walking trail extends from Tarpon Springs to St. Petersburg, a distance of 47 miles.

The proper name for the trail, The Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail was the brainchild of a man whose son was killed while riding his bike. An average of 70,000 per month use this paved corridor which links picturesque parks, scenic coastal areas and residential neighborhoods. Needless to say we did not ride the 94 mile return trip. However we did ride 36 kilometers, from Tarpon Springs to North Clearwater and back stopping for a break at The Cappuccino in Dunedin.

Tomorrow promises to be a very warm at The Florida Auto Exchange Stadium, spring training home of the Toronto Blue Jays.
