Our friends Lon and Jen Romsaas arrived last Friday to spend some time with us. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to do any sailing as the wind was blowing pretty hard. So, we had to find some other things to do. After a little investigation we found that Key Colony near Marathon had a small 9 hole par 3 golf course and the cost was very reasonable. So, on Sunday we headed for the golf course. The course was very small, but not very busy and we had a really nice time.
On Monday we headed for Key West to see if we could find any tourists. Key West is as crazy as ever. We toured the Butterfly House which is a very nice operation and experience. The butterflies are everywhere and most are very beautiful. We had some great food and then headed for Mallory Square to do the sunset. Unfortunately clouds rolled in just before sunset, so we had to use our imaginations. We headed back to Marathon after the sunset where we had motel reservations. We thought about staying in Key West until we saw the prices for lodging. We could have found space at the last minute but it would have been $300 and $400 a night. The next day on our way back to Tavernier, we stopped at Curry Hammock State Park and did some kayaking. It was an interesting trip through the mangroves at low tide and we also saw some really big iguanas along the lagoon.
Lon and Jen left yesterday, Wednesday, Feb 4 to drive up to Orlando so they were ready for an early flight back home this morning. Now we have a few days before Kurt and Colleen Schweigert come visit from Denver. The winds are hit and miss, but the temperature continues to be pretty good with an occasional cold front passing through and bringing it down a little. From what we’ve seen, it’s still better than the temps in Bismarck.
