After we had a great pancake breakfast (a special recipe from our friends, the Larsens), we decided to hang out here at our campsite one more day. The sun is so intense and we're trying to not over do our exposure, so after our bike ride yesterday, we thought we should not get too much more sun today.
So it's been a "project day" - we did some laundry in a bucket and hung it out to dry; Greg has worked on his "motor home short list"; we both read and we had a wonderful Skype conversation with Andrew in Chile. Once again, I continue to be amazed at how we can blend the world of camping, nature, and the outdoors (that we both love) along with keeping in touch with family and friends all over the place through technology.
After talking to family at home, we learned that while we are enjoying beautiful sunshine and warm temperatures, Minneapolis is bracing for yet another big snow storm!
Well, there has been one little downside to paradise - neither of us slept very well last night due to bites all over our bodies that
really itch! We did a little research online this morning and learned that the commonly-called sand flea (not really a flea at all) are common in the Keys.
We now have some benadryl spray that we are hoping will help us through the night tonight without scratching ourselves silly.
While we hung out at our campsite, we continued to watch the tide go in and out. Here are some birds that were feeding as the tide went out right in front our campsite.
Tomorrow we are planning to get going early and head down to Key West for the day.
