Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Not a great day today.  First of all, the carpet cleaning company was supposed to be here at 9:00 a.m. to clean our carpets.  They hadn’t shown up by 9:30 so I called and cancelled.  Called Stanley Steamer and set up an appointment for December 27.  After lunch we went to the Tropic to see Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina”.  Not sure how to describe this movie.  It was part musical, part comedy, part drama, part love story, part stage play, and part tragedy. The costumes were great though.  There’s something about imperial Russia.  Mid-70s today and mostly cloudy.

This is the old Overseas Highway that spans the channel by Bahia Honda SP.  When they converted the railroad to the "highway", they couldn't use the lower bed because it was too narrow.  So, they built the road bed on top of the structure.  I sure wouldn't have wanted to drive it.  Because it was so narrow, trucks were allowed to travel only one way.  Six hours each way.  They had to line up and wait their turn.  Sounds like fun to me.
