Bahia Honda State Park, Keys

A storm coming at us from the bay side. Batten down the hatches. Actually, it looked worse than it was. We have had very little rain so far on this trip. I believe only 2 partial days of wet stuff. As you can see from Les’s tank top, it is tropical weather here now. Unfortunately, it has been too windy for us to put in the kayaks here, but the biking along the beach road is beautiful. And of course the beach walking for treasures is very good here. I purchased a book to educate us on what we are seeing. So interesting!

A trip to Key West was very interesting. We parked at a shopping center and rode our bikes into the old town. That was very nice. We toured the Mel Fisher treasure museum, a collection of salvaged treasure found recently. The trolley ride around the island gave us good information on the history and highlights. There was a key lime pie chef tempting us with his pie and the sponge monster gave me quite a fright. Then there was the jazz trumpet player outside entertaining the café customers. Nice day. Pictures of these on the slideshow.

We have been blessed with some super sunsets here at Bahia Honda SP. The portion of the orginal railroad bridge makes the pictures even more special. And, we were able to meet up with our new friends, Bob and Kathy, at a very nice restaurant in the Marathon area called Key Colony Inn.

Here is the invasive iguana that is trying to take over Southern FL. These two were fighting on the road by the camper and the one on the slideshow was just at our camp site. They are pretty but should not be here. The iguana are eating up the foliage and hurting many other native species. Unfortunately there are not any predators for them so they are multiplying very fast.
We move Sunday, 31st, out of the Keys and to the West Coast. Our first stop is at Koreshan SHS for 2 weeks. We’ll have to find the WiFi around that park.

We are in Koreshan SHS now and have found a wonderful library here. It is rainy here and cool. That will force us to explore inside things to do for a few days. I will post another time next week on our stay here. God Bless!
