1213 February 17, 2025 “Adventure” In Homestead

While Tim was finishing his exercise regimen I walked.  It was in the low 70’s and there was a nice breeze.  It was cloudy and it was a perfect morning for walking.  I did 2 ½ miles.

When I got back, I took my yogurt and muesli and my second cup of coffee and went outside to enjoy my breakfast.

We are leaving Flamingo on Friday.  We have a long drive that day all the way to Stock Island.  WE needed to wash clothes and decided to use today to do all of our errands so that Friday wouldn’t be an even longer day.   We packed the car with laundry and detergent and quarters.  We took coolers and a long list and we drove the 50 miles into Homestead.  Working together, we got all of the laundry done in about an hour.  We went to Walmart for supplies and then to the mailbox and then to Publix for groceries.  We got fresh drinking water at a water fill kiosk.  We got gas for the Jeep and drove back toward the Everglades. 

We stopped at a park along the way to have a picnic lunch.

Lunch companion.

It was a picture postcard kind of day! Blue skies with windswept clouds…it is so beautiful here!

It was almost 4pm when we got back to our campsite.

We had some quiet time and then Tim went out for a bike ride.  I took that opportunity to make the bed and put away our clothes.  I cleaned bathrooms and when he still wasn’t back, I cleaned the bedroom and living areas as well. 

I was just finishing when he got back.  We had a late sushi lunch and we were not that hungry.  We each just grabbed something small for dinner.
