Feb. 16 - 22 On Saturday it was a cloudy and cold day, didn't get above 70 degrees. We stayed at the RV most of the day. I did ride my bike around the park a couple of times. In the evening one of the couples we have gotten to know, Chris and Wayne, came over to our RV and we played Phase 10. The wind blew really really hard all night long. On Sunday we woke up to sun but only 53 degrees and still very windy. We decided to go to the movies to see Argo but when we got there the line was way out the door and after waiting in line for awhile, we were told the movie was sold out so we drove to The Panda House and had Chinese buffet for lunch because we were going to have popcorn for our lunch. After sunset, the sunset gang went out to dinner at The Island Fish Company. It was Walt and Diane's choice because they were leaving the next day. Monday we got up early to say good-bye to Walt & Diane - they are from Fort Wayne, IN and Chris and Wayne - they are from Hammondsport, NY. After lunch Mike and I drove up to Mile Marker 77.5 to Robbie's Marina. We were told we could see and feed 4 to 5 foot Tarpon fish. They weren't feeding them because the water was too cold, but we did see them - huge fish. Also I got to be real close to a pelican who was on the dock and didn't fly away when we walked by them. We came back home and tried to go to the movies again. This time we got in. Their theater is real different. They have seats and also tables and chairs in a big room. We loved the movie and it did win Best Picture at the Oscars. Tuesday was a rainy day. In the afternoon it just poured, then the sun came out and it was still raining and we had the most gorgeous double rainbow. We spent the evening watching Hawaii-Five-0 and Chicago Fire on my computer on Hulu.com. Wednesday our friends from Waterloo, NY were arriving. Before they got here, we rode our bikes around and when we went by the docks, there were a bunch of people looking at the water. We went over to see what they were watching. There were 8 manatee in the harbor. Mike & I saw 4 and watched as they swam out of the harbor. Our friends arrived and we showed them around the park then drove to Key Fisheries for lunch. We went to see the sunset and the clouds were the prettiest we had ever seen - all pink and orange. We took them to Island Fish Company for dinner. The four of us always play cards when we get together so when we got home, we played Hand and Foot and Peggy and I won. Thursday the four of us drove to Key West - they had never been. We were there all day. Saw 2 cruise ships in port, Mallory Square and we walked down Duaval Street and ate lunch in one of the many outdoor bars. When we got home we put our bathing suits on and drove over to Sunset Grill, right down the road from our campground. They have a nice pool with outdoor dining so we swam and had cocktails, then had dinner and watched the sun set. When we got home we played cards again. The guys beat us in Hand and Foot but Peggy and I won in Euchre. Friday Peggy and Gordon wanted to go on the Turtle Hospital Tour. They thoroughly enjoyed it and our tour guide told us some things we hadn't heard about even though this was our third tour. We spent the afternoon at Sombrero Beach. We saw something at the beach you usually don't see - a man with no shirt on had a beautiful blue and yellow parrot on his shoulder and was walking the beach. When we got home we were too full from lunch - we had stopped at the Chinese buffet again - so we just had sandwiches for supper. We played cards again and the guys beat us. Peggy and Gordon are leaving early Sat. morning. We had a great visit.
