So…day 2 in Fort Meyers. After another fantastic, stuff myself silly breakfast, there was some last minute Christmas shopping to do. Lindsay and I headed to Norman Love Confectioners and all I can say is wow. Norman Love is a local shop in Fort Meyers that is rapidly becoming Internationally famous. Until you see the candy in person you cannot begin to image the artistic presentation of each individual piece. Then you taste the chocolate. Good God. For those of you in Gainesville, I believe they have begun carrying a small selection of Norman Love Chocolates at Dorn’s.

After Norman Love, it was back to the Krieg House. The day was rather uneventful and I spent most of it reading. Lindsay’s father came home and he took the time to show me around his Bonsai collection. Mr. Krieg has roughly 20 Bonsai plants and has been studying the art form for over 3 years. I’ve always been interested in Bonsai so it was a treat to have someone explain the different styles and show me some of the techniques first hand. I’m hoping to purchase a Bonsai of my own sometime in the next few months.

Tuesday evening was Wii night. I was introduced to the fun that is Wii Fit and happily spent the next few hours playing Wii with Lindsay and her parents. Being the competitive person that I am, I of course had to break all of the records. One game in particular had me balancing on the Wii Fit Board and trying to drop marbles into holes…apparently Lindsay’s Mom was really into it and was jumping around and twitching on the couch trying to “help” me. While I was busy breaking the Hula Hoop record I was done dirty. Merrily shaking my ass, I heard Lindsay and her Mom start dying of laughter. I figured they were just amused at my wiggling ass…until the game ended and I turned around and saw the video camera…dirty!

After another hour or so of Wii…I spent the rest of the evening reading. Day 3 was going to prove interesting as I was going to meet Grandma and one of Lindsay’s brothers…stay tuned!
