831 October 27, 2022 Fiesta Key

We got our morning exercises done and got the RV ready to roll.  We stopped at the dump station and then drove through 43 miles of Everglades, saying goodbye. 

As we drove Tim noticed a bigger frog.  He had crawled out from behind the mirror and was suctioned to the surface of the mirror for miles.  All at once at 55 mph…he couldn’t hold on any longer and he was gone.  A second, smaller frog crawled out.  He tried making a leap to the window of the RV and he was grabbed by the wind.

We stopped at the Ernest Coe Visitor Center for breakfast.  I had gone around the RV looking for the frogs in the unlikely event that they had caught the side of the RV.  Moments later, Tim was walking around with his breakfast when he saw a snake beneath the RV.  Had he come from our basement or was he interested in hitching a ride?  Tim used a shovel to move him away from our rig and into the grass.  He was rather unhappy with his handling and writhed around frantically, finally finding the tree and climbing and then settling.

We stopped at Robert’s and bought more papaya, mangoes, mamey, and avocadoes.

We stopped to gather some groceries at the Winn Dixie in Key Largo.

We stopped at Holiday RV and Marina where Carlos helped us to replace some breakers in our breaker box.

Finally, at 3:30 this afternoon, we arrived at Fiesta Key.  I was a little disappointed when I realized we were in a giant parking lot but then we got to our site. 

This is our view for the next month.

There is a restaurant, Oceans 305, right here in the resort.  We walked across the street and enjoyed a really good meal.  I may have also enjoyed margaritas!  After 3 weeks in the outback, it was nice to have dinner out!

We are looking forward to spending some time here in the Keys!
