This morning after our normal morning routine of coffee and breakfast. We went looking for something fun to do. We decided to go up the road to Islamorada, and feed the tarpon at Robbie's.
Was a short drive up the road and, of course, it's a challenge to park the dually. We parked and looked for a better spot and then went back to the original spot, close to a class C motorhome.
Walked all around there was little shops and souvenirs Etc.
We even had a long talk with one shop owner in an antique store, he was from Pittsburgh. He talked about wanting to buy a church or a prison and refurbished it to a home. He was interesting to talk to.
I even got a rare picture of Jim shopping, he was looking at t-shirts he liked.
Then we went over to the tarpon, it was $5 for a bucket of five fish and each person cost $2. You have to watch the Pelicans cuz, they love to steal the fish, and get an easy meal.
The tarpon were huge.
Tried to get a picture of Jim feeding them, but they startled him. They jump straight up out of the water.
After he went to wash his hands and we walked around.
Later we headed over to Publix looking for a Burger King. He was so excited he found one before we left. Once we drove by, we realized it was still under construction and not open yet. He was super bummed out. So we pulled over and looked for another option. No good choices close by. So we just went into Publix.
First Publix we ever seen with a boat trailer parking. Then we went in the store and found a few things we wanted and grabbed a quick lunch back at the deli area.
Jim had chicken and potato wedges, fried shrimp, I ate some salad greens with it. It hit the spot and then we drove back to the RV.
Brought everything in and put away and chilled for a while. Later we went up in the golf cart to see the sunset.
We went up between the mangroves for a different view point. All by ourselves too.
After the sunset we got ready there was a country band playing at Oceans 305 restaurant tonight. It's supposed to be a one of the nicest restaurants in the keys, and you can come in off the street.
Which doesn't really bode well for security in the campground.
Once we put on our western boots we left and decided to have a bite to eat up there tonight. I had a little soup before we left so, I just had a small bowl of tuna salad with some grilled vegetables. I took half of both home for later. Jim got a burger. But what was very weird, was for such a supposedly nice restaurant, they brought me my tuna and veggies, and probably 15 minutes later Jim got his Burger. That was not cool.
The guy playing guitar and another guy singing we're really good. They even played Our Song, so Jim and I did our signature line dance serenity, which is a cha cha. We chatted briefly with the lady who also has a golf cart like ours, and our neighbor Mike and Debbie.
We stayed till about 8:30 and then went back to the RV for the evening.
