WEDNESDAY AND IT IS CLOUDY, GOING TO RAIN, MAYBE I CAN SEE "NOAH"

Well here we are on a Wednesday of Holy Week.  I still need to find a Good Friday Service.  I will.
Jim thinks he is getting a cold, he sure has had some headaches lately.  
We had a full full day yesterday, we left at 7:30 and got home exactly at 7:30, it was a 12 hour drive.  Long fun day.
We left Naples and headed for "The Loop", I talked to Lyn Hop and she said she and Bob went about 5 miles down the loop but it was a gravel road and they then had seen enough and turned back.  I however was excited that it was a gravel road because I knew it would be a "road less traveled", too excited.  Hey I get excited at just about anything.  It doesn't take much, life is just too darn much fun, Jim makes it that way.
"The Loop" was a 23 mile drive and only the last 6 miles were black top.  We stopped in the office of the National Park Service at the "Big Cypress Preserve" the guy inside didn't have much literature for us but he was a walking encyclopedia, Jim felt bad after we left because we were the only one's there and he wouldn't have anyone to talk to and he sure wanted to answer any questions we had.  He was wonderful.  It made Jim laff.
Back to our drive.  We had such a fun slow meandering drive. Jim even got to stop and fish for Brim, Bass, Garr and the fish a woman called Crackers.  Who knows but there was a lot of fish, I wonder because there were no big fish that we saw if the alligators didn't eat them all.  We saw big alligators, we saw medium alligators and we saw little alligators.  It was too fun, there were even alligators in the middle of the road.  You should have see Otto barking at them.  We didn't take the kids out of the car.
After "The Loop" we decided to take a drive down to Key Largo just to see what the drive down the Key's would be like. 
We got as far as Homestead and he looked up an old Korea Army buddy.  Dan Frost, we stopped on main street, Jim googled him and found he was only 1.8 miles from there.  We drove to his house and visited with Dan and his wife Sharon in their lovely home with a beautiful pool.  I wanted to go in, it was 90 degrees out.  Had a nice visit and then pushed on to Key Largo.  After going through Key Largo we decided to push on to Islamorada which was about a half an hour farther South. We just looked at each other and said "Is that all there is" and turned the car around and headed for home.  Enough said.
We took the turnpike home and boy was there traffic near Miami.
We stopped at home to give the dogs a break from the drive and change clothes, we then went to our new favorite place for dinner.  Buzz's Lighthouse Inn.  We had a lovely dinner and we were home by 9:30.  What a full day.  What a fun day.  I did post some pictures on my facebook page.  See I am getting better at this computer stuff.
