Fun Fun Fun

Champions Gate Blvd, Florida

Boy, we have been so busy having fun that I didn't have time to blog.

Bob and Sandra on Carpe Diem showed us a wonderful time:

 

• We had our lobster Reuben at Keys fisheries.
• We had dinner o board Y-Knot with Darrick and Sharon.
• Bob and I drove to Sun Electric in Miami where I bought two new solar panels.
• Libby and Sandra taught four tables of cruising women about pine needle baskets. I was very happy that Libby had the opportunity to do that. She missed it.

On Friday we left Marathon to head north. Along the way we got to stop at Roberts Fruit Stand in Homestead, and to visit the Everglades National Park nearby.On Saturday we stopped to visit Pat and Ray in Bradenton.

• They are former cruiser met years ago in the Great Dismal Swamp.
• Also, while in the Bahamas, Pat taught Libby how to make pine needle baskets. We all know what that resulted in..
• They took us to a local botanical garden which was great.
• They even arranged for neighbors to come in and play Balderdash last night. We haven't played that in nearly a year.

Today we are heading north along rural roads in Florida's interior. We will stop. In Green Cove Springs to say hello to friends in a marina there. We haven't seen them in a while.Next stop, Myrtle Beach where we will visit Bo and Joyce on board their boat named (I forget)

Our only regret was that this trip missed Florida's East Coast. We would have liked to visit Dave & Jonnie, Charley & Mary, Dave & Pam too. Too bad, can't do everything.

Thanks so much to all our friends and hosts. We are privileged to have such great friends.
