852 November 17, 2022 Florida City

Our morning routine complete, we got in the Jeep and drove out of the Keys all the way to Florida City.  Yesterday, while in the pool, my Apple Watch started making a shrill beeping noise.  It was trying to make an SOS Emergency Medical Call.  I got out of the pool and was finally able to stop it but things deteriorated further from there.  By late afternoon, the watch had the black screen of death and every fix that I could find yielded NO results.  I have been faithfully using the watch to track my exercise and I was bummed!  The closest place to go and replace the watch was back in Florida City at the Best Buy.  And so, we found ourselves making the drive. 

The watch was successfully replaced.

We decided to get BBQ carryout and take it to Biscayne National Park.

We enjoyed a nice walk after lunch.

We shopped at Walmart, getting things that are harder to find down in the Keys.  The store felt loud and crowded and chaotic after so many weeks in the lower, slower part of Florida.  The lines were crazy long but we made it!

It was a foregone conclusion that we would go to Robert’s for papaya and mangoes and avocadoes.  Tim got a mango milkshake for us to share.

It was dinner hour by the time we were on our way back.  We stopped at Square Grouper and got some stone crab claws, which I liked and Tim did not! 

The rest of the evening was dedicated to getting the watch working so that I can get credit for my hard work tomorrow!
