Week one at Knights Key - Marathon, FL





Our real site, site BB

Sombrero Beach, where we go

one of many gorgeous sunsets

Jan. 12 - 18    We have been here a week now.  The weather for the first 5 days was sunny and in the 80's. Friday we had a cold spell come through, it was in the high 60's during the day and low 60's at night.  This lasted for a couple of days. We are now high 70's during the day and middle 60's for night which is perfect. We have walked the old 7 mile bridge almost every day. On Tuesday we moved over to the site we reserved last year.  We have the ocean out our back window. It is very pretty.  Because they don't have cable hook-up and there is no reception with the antena up, we don't have any TV to watch.  Last Sat. and Sunday Mike had to go find a TV to watch football.  On Sunday at supper time I went with Mike to have dinner out and so he could watch the 2nd football game.  I sat and read my Kindle while Mike watched the game.  We have been to Sombrero Beach several times.  The water is too cold for me but Mike has been in several times.  Almost every night around 5:30 we go over to the campground beach and sit and have a glass of wine and watch the sun set.  There have been some gorgeous sunsets.   So far we have had 2 nights of entertainment.  One was a single guy who sang songs from our era, he was real good.  Mike and I even danced to some of his songs.  Then another night we were entertained by "The Blues Brothers"  They were really good.  We play Bingo every Wed. night, we didn't win anything last week. We also went and played Bunco last Friday night.  A couple who we met and went out to dinner a couple of times 2 years ago arrived on Sat. We had kept up with them through e-mail and Christmas Cards.  It was nice seeing them again.  We did the sunset together and then went out to dinner together last Saturday. We had a very nice time and I think we will have fun with them while they are here for 4 weeks.
