Ahhh, Florida

Left O’Hare around 7:45 for our flight to Miami.  Picked up a rental car and headed toward the Keys. We took a detour off of Highway 1 on Card Sound Road to have lunch at a place called Alabama Jack’s.  It was a busy place right on the water with a band.  Fun place but we had the worst waitress we’ve ever had.  Took forever to get our food.  We had conch fritters and crab cakes; they were just okay.  The place was especially popular with bikers.

Go to Key Largo and checked into the Marriott.  It’s a nice place right on the bay; our room is on the third floor.

We drove around a bit and found the African Queen.  It’s hoisted up out of the water and doesn’t look like it’s ready to

take passengers in spite of what the sign and guidebooks say.   Watched some fishing boat operators bring in their fish.  The pelicans and an egret were pretty interested as well.

Today, Tuesday we had breakfast at Harriet’s and drove a little further south, did some shopping and then spend the afternoon at the pool.  Watched another great sunset and had a fabulous dinner at the Fish House.
