We have been here for 10 days now and we are still loving it. Today is our first cloudy day, but the temp. is still nice, 75. Our day usually starts by getting up around 8:00 and then taking a walk. On Monday 2/7 we went into town and purchased 2 fold up bikes. So now when we get up, we don't take a walk but we bike out of the campground and cross route 1 to a bike path up to the Old 7 Mile bridge which is 2.2 miles long. We have made it to the end once so from now on, we will be doing almost 5.5 miles a day. There is a turtle hospital here and we went to it to hear a talk on iguanas. It was very interesting. We also plan on going to take the tour of the turtle hospital. We have gone to the beach, Sombrero Beach, 3 times. Mike has gone in the water but I only go in up to my knees. We have found a restaurant called "The Stuffed Pig" that serves a great breakfast and lunch. We had a seafood melt sandwich the other day that was so good, I want to go back soon. We don't get any TV with our antenna and they don't have any cable service, so we have been watching our TV programs on the computer at Hulu.com. So far it has been working well. My cousin and her husband came to dinner last night. We ate outside then walked over to the beach and watched the sun set, very pretty again.
