This turned out to be one of the last years at the old Capitan Lafitte. After Hurricane Wilma, fall of 2005, the staff at Lafitte worked hard to have the resort up and running enough to open for the season. The hurricane wiped out the little casitas that were right on the beach, so popular with the old timers, but the bar and the dining room were salvagable.
It was Bob’s first time at my beloved home away from home, so I was glad he could see the old place before we had to move up the beach.
