Bahia Honda State Park, Florida Keys
Key West, Florida
Pool swimming.
The girls were in the pool from 4:30 - 6:30pm yesterday, dragged "ashore" only for dinner. Today we did a morning bike cruise around Key West township while the girls complained of being "too hot". Meanwhile, Denise and Doug are loving the very warm, balmy weather that, at 75F, feels a lot like living in Hawaii or Brisbane.
Later today we head for a long stay at Bahia Honda State Park but have greatly enjoyed the day spent with a very welcoming family resident here in Key West. We're parked in their driveway and the pool has been the center of our visit. After the bike ride this morning the girls went back to the pool... and again straight after lunch. In fact they are swimming as this blog gets updated.
The good news is that Ruth has become very comfortable with her snorkeling gear. As a still cautious swimmer, we weren't sure how she'd go. Our concerns have been put aside. After just a few hours in the pool wearing her mask, snorkel and fins she is now swimming like a little fish. As a more confident swimmer, Rose (pictured above) is enjoying the pool lounging experience.
Hopefully the weather will hold so we can experience some reef snorkeling together!

Cape Canaveral, Florida
Dinner and breakfast both enjoyed outside since we pulled in here yesterday afternoon. We have some time planned for the beach today - after the girls get back from chasing lizards and feeding the stray cats abundant here at this beachside RV park.
Later today we head for Jensen Beach and a few nights at the home of (little) Werner and his family's place.
