Someone's boathouse

One of their boats

One of the homes
(those royal palms cost about $20,000 each)
Jonathan Dickson SP, Jupiter, FL: Took the cruise up the intracoastal waterway past Jupiter Island passing some of the wealthiest homes in the country. The town of Jupiter Island has the highest per capita income in the country. #2 is Aspen. The families that own 300 of the properties comprise about 10% of the wealth in this country. Mind boggling. And these homes are used only a couple of weeks a year. Tiger Woods’ place is still under construction. It’s going to be huge. One home has a 1000 sq. ft. bedroom. Unbelievable. It was a beautiful day for the cruise and the water in the intracoastal was the prettiest aquamarine color—especially where it met the Atlantic. After the cruise we had dinner again at the Crab House. I had tilapia and Mike had a steak. Burt Reynolds house is within walking distance of the park. Looks like it needs some work. Threat of rain tomorrow. They need it badly. 81 today. Beautiful.
