Day 9 – Sweet Spot

Happy Valentine’s Day from Key West!

I wanted to start out by saying that this blog does have some links in it so the underlined places we have been are a quick link to their website if  you want more information or are just curious.  Paul’s day started early with a Scuba tour to Looe Key where the reef has been protected since the early 80’s.  He didn’t get back till 2 so he had a really phenomenal start to the day.  Sightings were trumpet fish, barracuda, reef sharks, lion fish and another monster fish… 300 pound Goliath Grouper.  He had a blast with the 2 dives he did today.  Colors were wonderful, his partner was great and they saw tons of coral.  My day was slower to start, sleeping in and a lovely card and gift on the breakfast table from my honey, waiting to be opened.  After breakfast I took an 8 mile bike ride.  This was mostly to go back to the area where I spilled on my bike the other night, I wanted to take one last look for my sunglasses.  I believe there is a bird somewhere that scooped them up and is styling in my sunglasses.  Paul thinks he saw a bird with sunglasses but it kept running into things because the prescription was not compatible. 🙂  Once we had lunch, we did some maintenance on the RV getting ready for the next leg of our trip.  We took off to Key West in time to see the sunset over Smathers Beach and talked to Jeff who is holding the fort down while we are gone.  We walked along the beach and enjoyed our last evening in the Keys. 

Off to the grocery store to stock up for the next leg and back home to have a quiet dinner.  Grilled ginger chicken and grilled bourbon peaches, salad and some homemade honey wheat bread.  Dessert was homemade molten lava cakes with vanilla ice cream.  I challenge the other RVers to top that!  Happy Valentine’s day y’all!
