This is a great place to spend a week. We took our first kayak adventure around the area, through the mangroves, ducking to avoid the branches and out into the Atlantic a mile to explore two sand spits. We can report sighting 5 baby Hammerhead Sharks, two rays, several species of fish and I must say, local people live very well along this stretch of beach as seen in the one little hut. We also have our first sunburn after 4 hours on the water.
Yesterday we drove into town for Happy Hour at Sparkys which included $1 tap beer, peel-and-eat shrimp and wings at $.25 each. Big juicy pink Florida Shrimp, yummmmm!
This morning Blue spotted a visitor to our site, a Black Racer snake. Non-venomous but a nasty bite if you get to close.
The water looks so inviting! Leave it to Blue to notice the friends. The weather is 60 today in OK and beatiful! They need rain here very desperately, it is so dry. You got a great bargain on your meal, but I got a free taco bar tonight at the hotel. It was quite the spread too! Peggy
ReplyDeleteYa can't beat the free stuff!
ReplyDeleteI went to the National Memorial Museum today. What an eerie feeling. I wish that I would have had more time, but very limited. There is a reflecting pool tat was once Fifth street and on each side of the street were the buildings. The field of empty chairs represented the lives lost which included 19 children. The chairs were placed according to the nine floors of the building. There was a survivor tree 90+ years old. On each end of the reflector pool stood the gates of time which stands for the the innocence of the city at 9:01 and the other gate 9:03 the moment of the bombing. If in your travels you ever go through OK, it is worth the vist.
ReplyDeleteOh by the way, it was gorgeous again today! Sounds like the day I leave it will 70 and suppose to snow back home.
More free food tonight! Hamburger bar - woohoo!

We will travel through there again and make sure to stop. Sounds like a very sobering thing to see. The nice weather always makes us wonder why we have lived in the cold during the winters for so long. All I can say is that it is so nice to be out of the weather up north! Have a safe journey home.
