| If you were sitting in this Gazebo right now, this is what you'd see just about nothing. That's because there's just about nothing there. No high rise condos, no crowds, no crying babies; just you ... and the geckos and the silent whirr of the dragonflies and your thoughts. Soothing thoughts caressed by the simmer of the surf breaking a few feet away leaving foamy edges of bubbling sand where little brown birds scurry after invisible morsels and snowy white egrets vie for your attention with giant blue heron. Right about now while miles away other people are avoiding each other in traffic and clamoring for attention at the super market, your eyelids are starting to head south while Pelicans soar overhead like B-52's and Dolphin chase mullet three feet from the beach and that annoying ticking you hear is your own watch and ... you're starting to wonder if the beer you put in the refrigerator a while ago is cold enough to drink yet even though it's only noon. |

| Nine zero eight Villas Drive is located in Venice Beach, Florida. Venice, Florida is a pretty little burg smack up against the Gulf of Mexico seventy five miles or so south of Tampa and forty five miles above Naples and Fort Myers. The "Island" is the barrier between the mainland and the Gulf so you're not forced to stare annoyingly at the zillion dollar monstrosities blocking your view and your access to the Gulf like the rest of the coastline folks have to do from Clearwater to San Marco. |

| Instead, you'll be able to watch sunsets like this from that gazebo I was talking about earlier which sits right on the beach at the foot of the property, your beach with your very own access, which if you know anything about Florida, is not always guaranteed. |

| The pool is the second largest in the city of Venice and kept in pristine condition. Many an afernoon we've spent snoozing away the hours lulled into unconsciousness by the crackle of exotic fowl and the rustle of tiny lizards. |

| As for stuff to do if you get tired of eating, drinking and laying around by the pool, you have this to contemplate. You can walk or run up and down it. You can swim in the bathtub warm gray green water, fish in it or get sunburned and a stiff neck while searching for prehistoric sharks' teeth. |

| At the far end of this direction, a healthy morning jog, you'll encounter Venice's famous fishing pier where the fish bite eagerly and the restaurant at its mainland end serves pretty good food. Oh, by the way, remember our first conversation about no one and nothing being around except you and your thoughts? See what I mean?! |
