We saw so many wonderful things. A few blocks or so from Wayne and Carolyn’s condo is the Island’s Eagle Sanctuary
It’s so nice how all the residents care so very much for all the wildlife in and around this Island!
We saw the huge (I MEAN HUGE) machine; the walking dredge, which opened up the Everglades connecting Tampa to Miami. ..I took photos but they didn’t turn out well. I tried to find a couple of good ones on the internet, but I didn’t see anything I really liked.
We found out there is a softball baseball league where you MUST be 70 or older to play! 🙂 Anyone younger does not qualify.
Later on in the day I went to the library to get our boarding passes—everyone else went and watched some boat races.
Then it was back to the beach…
and off to have a yummy pizza
Gosh! What an amazing gift of time!

Is it going to be hard to leave that paradise for your paradise when vacation is over?

No. Home is always the best place to be. But a wee break in the routine refreshes, as they say. 🙂

I love that photo of the beach; all the tyre tracks look like stitched patterns… trust a quilter to see stitching everywhere! I’m so happy you’re having a wonderful – and interesting – time!

That machine they use to groom the sand is amazing!

They *groom* the sand…?! Golly, I wonder how that would go down here… I suppose it’s like the piste-basher machines you get in snow resorts, getting rid of the lumps and grooves so the snow’s smooth and pristine the next day… But I can’t imagine Australian sand being groomed – there’s a whole lot too much of it, for a start!

He probably does, but he is with his big sister and all her dogs, so I’m thinking he is having a good time.
