We are still at Knights Key. It is in the 80’s and very humid. Who would have thought for winter it would be that warm. They are saying this is an unusually warm winter. Guess it makes up for last winter being unusually cold and wet. We went biking in the am and then to the beach in the pm. We once again watched sunset from the tiki bar here at the RV park.
The beautiful blue gulf water. The old 7 mile bridge between Knights key and the next one. It was once a railroad bridge, then after hurricane damage it was refurbed as an auto bridge. Very narrow and apparenally very scary when a semi or huge RV went by you in a car. It is now used as a walking or biking path to Pigeon key. that is where the rail road workers lived when they built the bridge. The new bridge is to the left of the old one. It was built in 1982.
John biking on the old bridge. A sign from the beach warning about the Portuguese man-o-wars. The beach was free, and had a thick wash up of wrack(sea weed) and trash. There was sea grass growing close to shore, so it was interesting to walk through. Very hot, nice beachy afternoon.
an iguana at the tiki bar. John tried to feed it a lime and it ran down by the water. It is sitting on the wrack. A child went toward it by the water and it jumped into the ocean and swam off. I had no idea they could swim.
sunset, and John sitting in one of the chairs in front of sunset
John again and our chairs without us in front of the sunset

We went on a power catamaran to a near by reef and went snorkeling.

the rv park from the water and the tiki bar at the rv park in the closer up photo. There is a line of rocks in front of the tiki kind of making a small bay with pelicans and other sea birds sitting on them.
