Ms Fran & Capn Rod : 12/26/14 Friday Key Largo, Fla

Another day at Key Largo!!! We did not even set the alarm this morning but Rod was up early as usual. Went out early and rode bikes and picked up some needed supplies at a Publix Grocery store and then Ace Hardware. Came back and Rod did some maintance and washed the entire outside of the boat, boy was it filthy!!! I cleaned the inside!!! Fun fun!!

We then packed up all the garbage and Lexie in the dinghy and headed for the park to let her run play and do her thing!!, she so enjoys a dinghy ride which we call our limousine service!!! Hehe While at the park we enjoyed the Sandhill cranes, but the best was this HUGH eguaina (lizard) I mean 3 ft Long or better. And could he run fast!!! Oh my gosh!! He ran across the entire yard of the park and into the brush in 3-4 seconds!!! He was bright green in color!!, what a surprise!! No pic of him he was like lightning !!

We brought her back to the boat and again we took off to ride and see the town. Rode some of the back streets to see where the locals live, found a West Marine boat store, and made a few purchases of things needed!! Always boat things needed when you live on a boat!!! It's like going to Lowes when you own a house!!!

Found a local farmers market and picked up some local produce. Also a lady there was making fresh guacamole !! Yum!!! Could not resist taking some of that !!!

Brought those goodies back to the boat and decided to check out a local restaurant for supper to night. We both had a great house salad, of which I chose the house dressing of mango and poppy seed!! It was fabulous!!! Rod had a seafood platter, Mahi, oysters, scallops, and shrimp !! I had fresh made lobster rolls with a tihia sauce. We could eat not more!!!! Rode off a few calories for a while and came back to the dinghy dock to go home and ran into a friend from Georgetown!!! What a surprise. Talked with him for a while, he said Marty his wife was on their boat. we may get together tomorrow.

On return to the boat we sat out on the front and enjoyed the beautiful sunset!!! What a treat!! Lexie just enjoyed our time with her !! Ha pics below! Not much for TV here so, movie night tonight!! Rod is choosing the movie now!! We saw a state park today so we may go there tomorrow with a picnic and spend some time. Fun day and a clean boat!!! Ha

Love to all, and hope all are still enjoying the Christmas goodies, food and presents!!

Flocks of Sandhill cranes in the park. Lexie first stands and stares as she can not believe they are not afraid of her. The. She runs toward them and they fly off. But they come right back!!
