Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  A beautiful, warm and sultry day today.  We went to the Galley Grill for breakfast.  I got a head start and walked down to the end of Johnson Road and started back before Mike picked me up.  We took the bikes to the Big Pine Bike Shop for their annual tune-up.  While there I tried riding a three-wheeler.  THAT was hysterical.  I had no control of the thing at all.  Kept running into parked vehicles.  I would have thought it would be easy.  Not so—at least not for me.  Stopped at Walgreens on our way home and had Mike drop me off at the end of Johnson Road so I could walk back.  Mike joined me after he parked the truck and we walked around a little and stopped at Carol and Ray’s site.  Hung out there for a couple of hours.  While there, I spotted this really beautiful green gecko with red spots and markings.  He had little suction cup feet.  Looked him up on the Internet and found out it’s a Giant Madagascar Day Gecko.  I don’t know why it’s called a “giant.”  It’s only about 5 inches long.  I know there’s a bar/restaurant in the Keys somewhere where these cute guys hang out.  I think they’re rare or something.  Went back to our site and sat outside reading and enjoying this beautiful day.  Then came in and watched another episode of “The Winds of War.”  Low 80s today with a nice breeze.
