October 20 Wednesday 2010 Key West

We decide to spend another day and go to Tortuga national park and Fort Jefferson. A whole day trip. $135 ea. A 68 nautical mile drive by boat. About 2and ahalf hours each way. We have to be at the dock by 7:15 so miss our breakfast at the cottage but they are serving breakfast on the Fast Cat. Breakfast was coffee ,juice donuts and bagels with cream cheese. Lunch was better -cold meat ,cheese , tomatoes cucumbers etc. (with a variety of breads.) And salads . fresh fruit also. Pop no beer. We get a very good tour of the fort. We also can go snorkeling . Hudson and I take advantage of that. They supply all the gear. We get to see many colourful fish in all sizes and different coral. We leave at 2:30 a great day . Bill and Dina found it a little hot. We are back in time for a quick shower before dinner. Yesterday Dina found a lovely turtle wood carving so she went back to pay for it and have it shipped home. We went back to Alonzo for dinner again sure can't beat their prices.

REMEMBER-love doesn't make the world go around, but it makes the ride worthwhile.
