Time to drive down to the keys...

We're staying at the Cheeca Lodge in Upper Matecumbe Key. On the way down, we took Card Sound road & ate lunch at a quaint place named Alabama Jack's. It was so beautiful & relaxing. The laughing gulls entertained us while we ate.

After we checked in to our room, we drove back a few miles to tour a wild bird sanctuary at mile marker 94. We saw all kinds of birds, but definitely a plethora of egrets, herons & pelicans. Many had permanent wing injuries -- poor things. Somehow, we didn't plan well and left our mosquito repellant at the room when we checked in. So, we were bitten unmercifully. Poor Galahad is allergic to them, and his bites swelled into giant welts.

Well, I certainly feel like a Peeping Peggy, but I found someone else's photos on the web with scenes from the keys. If you want to peep also and have a look at some of the things I saw & some I didn't but that they saw, click here. Found some more and these are better. I guess I have no pressure now to get ours developed & up on the web.

Note to self: Never leave photos up that others should not see.

We went to Lorelei's for dinner & sunset. The food was grand, the ambiance was perfect, and the company was exquisite.
