849 November 14, 2022 Harry Harris Park

I did my walk and then grabbed breakfast before heading to the Total Body Stretch Class.  Tim had already done his yoga and so he walked the bridge while I was busy.  He saw these workmen making underwater repairs to the concrete.  This is NOT a job that he would have liked!

We drove north toward Key Largo.  We parked at Harry Harris Park.  We tooled around on our bikes, riding around the lagoon and through the park.

We spotted two more homemade boats.  The ranger at the park said that they floated ashore during Hurricane Ian.  It is not clear if the people sailing in those vessels made it across the Straits.

We cycled out of the park and through the nearby neighborhoods and then for a short distance on the bike path along Overseas Highway and then we headed back.

We sat in the shade of this huge Florida Strangler Fig Tree.

Speedboats were steadily coming out of Key West today. The World Championship Powerboat Races wrapped up yesterday. We had been seeing these fast moving boats in the bay and in the Straits; rooster tails and all.

We stopped for groceries in Islamorada.

This evening we took our quinoa bowls to Annie’s Beach and enjoyed our meal by the water.  I always think that food tastes so much better when we eat it outside!

There was another suspect boat on the shore.  That is a total of five.  In all our previous visits to the Keys, we have never seen any boats from Cuba. We see the boats and our imaginations run wild wondering about the fates of these people.  We feel so lucky and blessed to live here in America and to have had the opportunities we have had; we should all feel blessed.

My Ollie-O…sharing smiles!
