Casa Cudjoe Week 2

In searching the lower Keys for walking and biking paths, we discovered this path on Sugarloaf Key. Another hiker told us it was an old road, we walked along it for a couple of miles without reaching the end.

There were some beautiful overlooks along the way.

While sitting around the pool one day, this iguana stopped by to visit.

As I approached him for a picture, he took a flying leap down onto the seawall, and then he jumped into the canal.

Lucy is enjoying her outdoor time at Casa Cudjoe. Sue and Ron's dog, Charley, is trying to make friends with her, but this is about as close as they have gotten so far.

We took the boat out again this week. This is the view looking back on our "neighborhood" as we headed out the three mile channel toward Hawk Channel.

The weather was warm, seas fairly calm. Mark (and Cheryl) and I rode on the bow.

On the flybridge are Mary, Cheryl, Sue and John.

Our visitors this week are Mark and Cheryl (our neighbors) and John and Mary (family friends of Sue). They've been very busy exploring all the attractions, restaurants and beaches in the Keys. The two couples did not know each other before this week, but have gotten along great. Today we all went to Key West. This is the Oldest House in Key West, one of the few attractions which is FREE. The garden behind the house is a peaceful oasis, much appreciated in the chaos of spring break in Key West.

We had an interesting tour of the Hemingway House and saw many of the six toed cats that live there.

Tonight we all had dinner at the Wharf in Summerland Key. Pictured are John, Steve, Liz, Mary, Sue, Ron, Cheryl, and Mark.

The next crew comes in tomorrow and this group leaves the following day. So far so good.
