Portland to the Keys and 25 degrees

…what a difference a day makes!

After nine months of planning it’s finally here…biking from Key Largo to Key West! We arrived a couple days early as we knew it would take a couple days to get vacationized…we’re officially there!

The rest of the biker peeps arrive tomorrow, and we’re so excited. After all, on a ride like this you want to share the fun!

With all that said, as the pictures show, we have enjoyed a couple days in the sun. We both agree that the highlight so far is the glass bottom boat ride to Molasses Coral Reef just outside of John Pennekamp State Park. The reef is six miles off the coast. Dramamine was my friend today as we rode out in 2-3 foot waves. It was a gorgeous trip. The reef was alive with colorful fish and seaweed. We even saw a sea turtle and a barracuda! On the way back to the park, we had three dolphins chaperoning the boat, taking turns showing us their moves…it was magical…I think that is when I realized that life has more meaning than the mundane, petty issues we get wrapped up in everyday …there is so much beauty around us.

Anyway! Back to the resort where we will

spend two more nights! Being here is being transported back to the 50s…as you can see from some of the pictures. It’s a quiet spot that kind of grabs onto you, demanding that you let everything else go….beautiful sunsets, nice people, great food…

The rest of the biker peeps arrive tomorrow…after another gorgeous sunset.

Until tomorrow.❤️
