Day 4: Anna's Beach, Islamorada...

March 6, 2024 - We drove to Islamorada and went wading in the Atlantic at Anna's Beach. We had lunch outside at Wahoo's, and we saw so many birds today! Pelicans, kites, gulls, lizards, crabs! We took photos with Betsy the giant lobster statue. We did some shopping and I visited the Islamorada Brewery and Distillary. We went kayaking, but I didn't go long, as the kayaks were the most uncomfortable, I've ever used. the "launch" was challenging too, as it was steep and rocky.

Day 3: Key West, Blue Hole in Big Pine Key, Mini Deer, etc.

March 5, 2024 - We went to Key West and ate at the Stoned Crab. Key West was so busy, that it was hard to see things. There were lines, and no open parking spaces. We went to Blue Hole, in Big Pine Key, and saw a mini Key Deer, an alligator and some tarpon... basically, Blue Hole is man-made, is salt water below, and freshwater above. It contains tarpon from the Atlantic, and alligators, which live in freshwater. We also saw non-native iguanas, lots of birds, fish, lizards...

Day 2: Everglades Airboat

March 4, 2024 - This morning I bought food at Publix, and made breakfast in the houseboat. Then we drove about 2.5 hours, through agricultural land to Cooperstown Airboat Tours. We took a 40 minute tour through the Everglades. We saw 5 alligators. We saw lots of birds and fish, a turtle and lizards... We ate at the Cracked Conch in Marathon. I bought some wine, and T-shirts today.

Day 1: Minneapolis/St. Paul to Miami to Marathon, Florida.

March 3, 2024 - We live on a houseboat. It was quite a downpour we drove through to get here.
