On the ball again....this time it is C10...we were on C-4 last time.
The weather is changing here... who says you have to stay in the Midwest for a change of seasons.
Visited an extraordinary expanse of sea islands. This area contains 22 threatened or endangered species. Saw Key deer everywhere along the road. They are very small about the size of a medium dog.
Had lunch at the oldest pub in the area. Friendlly people, long history, great food, lousy service ( that is what their menu says), and a beautiful garden. Decorated with live key deer.
Marathon key is known as the "Heart & Soul" of the keys, due to its central location and rustic ambiance.
