We decided that since we were already in Florida, why not travel from mile 0 in Key West to mile 0 in Homer?? So we headed south the last week in March. We found a free place to camp in the Keys...crazy, right? ;) we toured Key West and got our fill in 1 day.
Off to the Everglades and away from the people! We rented a canoe, paddled through the mangroves and camped backcountry, Everglades style. It was glorious! We woke up to baby dolphins playing with their breakfast. We saw giant pink birds flying overhead. We saw alligators AND crocodiles! & it was cool and windy enough to keep the bugs at bay.
What a fabulous way to start our trip, and we got back in time for two consecutive Easter dinners with our families & were able to say our goodbyes for now. :)
