Out and About

 We feel like we have accomplished a lot in a short period of time.  We've already put about 30 miles on the bikes in two days of running errands and going to Church.  Tonight we start making plans for things we want to do while we're here. We have friends in Key West we want to see and other friends coming this way that we want to see.  We always enjoy the local community theater productions and we joined a gym.  We also enjoy the beautiful Crane Point nature preserve, the famous turtle hospital and lots of good places to eat.  And, we enjoy the social life in the marina.  Before we know it, it's time to move on.  It's a rough life but we're managing😊

You know you're in the Keys when you eat a lot outside the restaurant and there are chickens.

Careful casting you fishing line near power lines.

The weather allows for gorgeous plants year round.

This will be our new church home while we're here, San Pablo.  It's about a 5 mile ride away

 so we spend more time commuting than we spend in Mass.  More on this in a future blogs.

Seasonal visitors have donated thousands of hours and dollars in enhancements to the Parish.

San Pablo is on the next little island towards Miami.  We cross this (thankfully low) bridge on our way to church.  We see the Gulf on our way in.

And the Atlantic on our way home.

We love this place.  Basically a hole-in-the wall but the place is always packed with locals.  We'll see folks from church here.  The food is great and not priced to gouge tourists.

One of the things we like are the pictures of old Marathon and the keys.  They also have lots of humorous signs everywhere included the hallway to the bathroom and inside the bathrooms too.

Trusty steeds await our return.  These have been great bikes.  Since 2008 we've put thousands 

of happy miles on them while out cruising.  Too bad they're not made anymore.

                                          Not only daily specials but a Sunday funny too.
