We played on the beach, drank (nonalcoholic) pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris and we (Midwest cheer allstars) got 4th in the nation, she said.For many spring breakers, a good tan was essential; no one couldgo to Florida and come back without a tan. I got a great tan and got buckwild, said Keel, an expert in tanning, The rays were not up to par on thebeach, but they were by the pool.A little further South in Fort Myers, another South student lay on thebeach.
