We got up bright and early this morning and went for a wonderful swim in the Atlantic before even having breakfast. The showers at the beach weren’t working but we had a nice shower once we walked back to the campground.

We drove to St. Augustine and had breakfast in town. Because we had Pepsi with us we weren’t able to go into a restaurant so we stopped at a bakery/cafe that offered take-out. It took over 30 minutes from the time we ordered to the time we got our breakfast burrito. Martin got to read the newspaper (aka local fish wrap) before we got the order. News – George H.W. Bush (aged 91) fell and broke a bone in his neck. The king and queen of Spain are coming for a visit in 2016.

Once we finally had our burritos we sat outside only to have it start raining – lightly at first to give us time to get back to the van and then in torrents. What a downpour and flooded roads.

There was no sense for us to stay in the rain so we began our long drive to Key Largo. Along the way we had another two torrential downpours.  The van is nice and clean now.

Miami was very slow and tedious to get through given it was rush hour but we finally made it into the Keys. Our first choice for staying was John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park but it was already full.

We then decided to stay at the Point of View RV resort where our next door neighbours spend 4 months each winter. We got the last site there, right next to the dog walk and the private latino music festival.

We had a nice dinner at Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen before a thunderstorm rolled in and we had our Key Lime Pie dessert in our van. Pepsi doesn’t like thunderstorms.
