836 November 1, 2022 Bahia Honda State Park

I took a good walk and the time passed quickly as I chatted with my mom and a good friend. 

Tim walked out by the road towrd the bridge. He saw this small boat hidden in the mangroves. we know that people often try to cross the Florida Straits from Cuba. This boat looked like it had made a long journey. It had big sheets ofplastic inside. There was a dishevled man walking along with a pack on his back…

We packed a picnic lunch and drove the Jeep with our bikes to Bahia Honda State Park.  We cycled over to the tent campground.  There is a deep inlet there and we saw hundreds of fish scooting along the underwater ledge.

We walked the trail to the old bridge. 

These baybean plants were lovely and fragrant.

We found a table in the on the beach and in the shade.  We enjoyed our lunch wile talking to a couple from Ohio.  They were headed to key West and were going to take the boat ride to Dry Tortugas National Park. This is something we would love to do. It is hard to get a reservarion and planning has to be done months in advnce. we also have to leave the RV somewhere. Camping in Key West is about 200.00 oer night!

Miles of beautiful beach here!

I did some laundry this afternoon in preparation for our trip to Key West.  We are going to leave the RV here and stay at Ibis Bay for two nights. 

We didn’t get outside for an evening walk until after sunset.
