Beach life

We are in Bahia Honda State Park on the Keys.  About 45 min from Key West.   We have no Internet so I am using the data plan on the iPad mini and Blogger does not work very well....thus no pics and just one- fingered typing. ( left the keyboard at home).    
We gathered for a mini- Class of 61 HS reunion in Naples.    AND I didn't get a single picture !!    So just imagine 3 couples who are still very young in spirit and look pretty darn good.    Naples is where the money is and the winter crowds.  Went to Costco and it had the best dressed shoppers and top of the line cars to take those 24 rolls of TP home.  
All of Florida's State Parks are very well done....or at least the few we've been to.  But the ones on the beach are very hard to get into " during the season".  Paul made reservations 11 months ago.  And then it's like getting a seat on Southwest.......you have to press send at exactly the right time to get a spot.  The alternative is private campgrounds where they pack them in like sardines and charge a fortune.  
Bahia has nice private sites, you can walk to the beach (best beach in US in 1992 the sign says) and trails for exploring.     We spent a few hours on the beach.   No shells, little surf but beautiful white , soft sand.  And not very busy.  
We did go to KW.    VERY busy with a cruise ship in and the young Spring Break crowd.    We did the tour of the Hemingway House and walked all over, has good Mexican food, bought some clothes and came home.   Probably don't need to go back.

We'll  do more exploring, more beach lounging, more reading good books and more drawing of the sea grape leaves (a favorite of mine) and lots of relaxing.        Pictures later.
