Drove on down the Keys on the 4th as planned. The further south, the higher the temperature rose—Yea! Tom has already sent a picture of the view from our site so I can’t tell you how heartbroken we are to have to stay here for two weeks. Ha! Every day we sit outside and read and watch kayaks, wave runners, sailboats and assorted other vessels pass by as PELICANS, gulls and an occasional osprey soar above and dive in to fish or just float around for a bit. Mostly it’s just the serenity of the water and the rustle of the trees from gentle tropical breezes. Yesterday we encountered two iguanas sunning themselves. They were about 3 feet long and quite dragonian looking so we said hello, took a picture and moved on!
We rediscovered our sweet Cuban restaurant—snapper as good as ever—and dined al fresco for brunch at a lovely café we enjoyed so much on our last visit. We’ve driven around town, walked a little of Duval St., but mostly have just enjoyed “being” and the warmth. Our neighbors from home arrive tomorrow for a week so we’ll pick up the pace—or not.
Here’s another picture you will appreciate—reminds me of one of our rallies with our motorhome chapter (Carolina Pelicans)—just a bunch of Pelicans sitting around doing nothing except maybe dozing every now and then.
More later—Life is Good!
Tee & Tom

Ooooh - sounds so nice! We've never gotten south of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park - would love to get to the Keys at some point but probably won't have the chance..... Know y'all are having a great time with Duncan - Hi from all of us in not-so-warm Tucson....it's warmer here than Central Oregon, but nothing like the Keys!
Take care - Pat and Bob Vigal
