For my walk this morning, I decided to access the walking path that runs alongside Overseas Highway. I had to walk ¾ mile in the gravel by the road before the path began. It was not relaxing and was rather nerve-wracking.
I made a right on Guava Avenue to escape the noise of the highway. It was quieter and peaceful and there was no traffic. I walked to the end and then made a right on Morton. I was really not looking forward to going back the way that I had come. I called Tim and asked him if he would meet me at the end of Kyle Road if I just kept on walking. He agreed and I walked on. I passed lots of very property on the water. Beautiful landscaping and entrances and gated drives with pools and tennis courts and houses tucked away from view.
Tim met me and I had walked 3.25 miles. This was so much better than walking in the campground or on the shoulder of the busy road.
I had a hair appointment in Islamorada and I left around noon. Each and every time that we have visited the Keys, Debra had done my hair. It was nice to see her and talk about her recent travels and upcoming adventures. I was sad to learn that she will be retiring at the end of March. I was also happy to hear that she will be retiring. She deserves every happiness.
I ran a couple of other errands while I was in Islamorada.
This evening, we had a reservation for dinner at Lazy Days South. We sat on the patio and had a nice meal.
After dinner, we drove to nearby Key Colony Beach to Sunset Point Park. We found a bench and did some people watching. There were more than 200 people gathered. We collectively celebrated the end of the day. The 1812 Overture was played over a loudspeaker. Then, the “mayor” (official or unofficial) of Key Colony welcomed us to the Sunset Point celebration. He invited us to sing the Marathon Anthem and he had laminated copies of the lyrics available in a basket. The music began and the community joined together in song. It was unique and sweet and a nice ending to this day.
