Days 60
Rowan is an early bird and was up at dawn every morning to catch the sunrise from his favorite perch.
This is Rowan’s third time coming to the Keys with us. Like us, he has his favorite things to do.
While Rowan and David took care of some business on the beach, I did some bird watching.
Rowan and I biked a portion of the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail. This is a 106.5 mile asphalt rail trail that goes from Key Largo to Key West. We were always on the lookout for what I call Iguanas and Rowan informed me were “Pigeons of the South”.
During both of Rowan’s previous trips to Marathon we took him to The Dolphin Research Center (DRC) to swim with the Dolphins. This time he passed on swimming with them, but had a lot of fun introducing E T to them. DRC is VERY dog friendly. We went back twice with Rowan and ET. It is a wonderful refuge center and College. Louie, my favorite dolphin was rescued from the BP oil spill in Louisiana. He had a 5% chance of making it and today is thriving at DRC. The Dolphins were as interested in E T as she was in them, as you’ll see in the slideshow.
After dinner, we relaxed on the beach at Curry Hammock and were entertained by a couple of Kite Boarders.
How wonderful to have Megan all to yourselves! She likes to do so many of the same things you do which makes it fun. The weather looks perfect-not too hot.
