Florida. Sun is intense here. Im red today...but only on the one side from driving for 300 and some miles up the west coast of Florida today. We took off from Key West after visiting Hemmingways house. What a wonderful tour. We had a super nice local boy (of 21 who was super hungover) but he was fun! There are currently 44 cats living there at the house. They have a vet in once a week and are very well taken care of. Super neat tour. Ill need to read some Hemmingway books now. Lots of chickens to look at too! Cute little families of them.
Up the Keys we went. In Islamorda we stopped to feed the Tarpin; huge fish that leap out of the water to take the feeder fish you drop to them. There were a ton of people and they were not super hungry, but the pelican that was hanging around got one of the fish stuck sideways in its throat and provided some good entertainment.
Turning left to the west we started through the Everglades. We saw about 5 aligators along the way and decided to take a leg stretching break and saw 10 - 15 more in a small stream. SO NEAT. They look so friendly, right?
Finally we made it up the west coast to Sarasota which is our stop tonight. Tomorrow takes us just into Georgia away from the ocean and maybe into the mountains.
