We’re back from the keys and staying at Dave and Leo’s again. This morning we left the hotel early so we could get back and pick Carmanah up at the kennel.
On the way back, we wanted to stop at a beach, but I didn’t see the turnoff for the free beach until it was too late.
The second thing I wanted to do was feed the Tarpons. These are large fish (up to 8 feet long) with very large scales. We found the spot (at Mile 77.5) and bought a bucket of fish. We had to try to keep the fish away from the pelicans who wanted to steal it. Each time we threw a fish in the water, the tarpons would snatch it up. We saw the pelicans steal one or two.
On the way back, we stopped at a state park, but the beaches were closed due to high levels of bacteria. So we came back to the beach here in Hollywood.
Tomorrow we might go into Miami and tomorrow night we are meeting Binh who lives here and is also in my distance writing program!
