I know I know


Without Chester telling me ~ it's been a while since an update, and I better get with the program!  Once again, I've been down a couple days ... what is going on here anyway?  We had my after procedure follow up appointment with the gastroenterologist in the Keys and it seemed I was "staying the course", HMMM?
Anyway, we left the Keys on Sunday for the 190 mile journey up to Port St. Lucie.  Unfortunately Rick's co-pilot was horizontal on the couch for most of the journey so he was pretty much on his own with "smarty pants" (the GPS) as his co-pilot!  I guess sometimes that could be a blessing in disguise because "smarty pants" doesn't tell him to watch out for things or slow down (although I rarely have to request he slow down when he's driving the coach!)

So, here are a few random photos again.  Above is Himself doing parking duty at the Lodge a couple nights before we left.

Below is our last Keys sunset for this season.  We did, however, book part of our stay there for next year.  We have reserved the month of January again.  Once more this was a change of "plans" ~ we had decided a couple months ago that we would probably head to Texas or New Mexico next winter, but changed our minds once we got into the "Keys-attitude" again!
Yesterday, we did a bit of travel around this area.  Arlo went exploring at Jensen Beach.  Poor guy probably wondered where we put his ocean from the Keys ... as he hadn't see ocean for 24 hours or so and would go swimming several times a day in the Keys.  He was so funny when we pulled into the parking area for this small beach area yesterday!

This man at the fish cleaning table there was really attracting the pelicans!  Pelicans ~ did you know their beak can hold more than their belly can!
Below is Sir at some restaurant we stopped at in Ft. Pierce (I think it was).  For the life of me I can not remember the name of the place.
The beaches and waterfronts in these parts are beautiful.  This Jensen Beach and Fort Pierce area is a peninsula separated from the mainland by the Indian River.  It reminded me somewhat of the Outer Banks in North Carolina.  However this area was much much friendlier and more accessible with many many beach access areas ~ neither of which were our observations when we were at the Outer Banks.

We are staying at an "Outdoor Resorts of America" park in Port St. Lucie for a few nights on a deal someone told us about ~ four days and three nights free ~ you do have to listen to a sales speech, but you know it's nice to have these opportunities once in a while.  This is a gorgeous place but out of our league to say the least!  As Lucy said about a place she and her husband stayed "we have nothing in common with the Prevost crowd"  We can't even have the trailer here so it is in a storage facility a couple miles down the road!  

Today we are off to get a connection to hopefully solve an issue we are having with one of our tanks!  After which I'm going to a farmer's market I read about, then to go stock up on stuff we need before we leave here tomorrow and continue our northern journey.
