Fri, Nov 29, 2019:  The Glades, Moore Haven, FL:  What an incredible feast we had yesterday.  The turkey was delicious and the side dishes were all good.  One woman made deviled eggs with faces on them made out of tiny little pieces of vegetables.  Very creative.  There are a lot of French Canadians in this park.  At our table I think we were the only two Americans.  Some don’t speak any English.  The guy I sat next to was fluent in English however.  He and his wife live somewhere in the Laurentian Mountains on a lake in the summer, and spend the winter down here.  Not too shabby.  After dinner Esther, Gerald, Mike and I went over to their site and Charlie and Johanne joined us for an impromptu happy hour.  Great fun.  They are busy today working on their decks.  Gerald is starting on framing up their lanai.  I went for a walk this morning before breakfast.  Great way to meet some of the people in here.  After breakfast we headed to Labelle to pick up a case of beer for Gerald who built our shed ramp.  Bought groceries while we were there.  Came back and relaxed the rest of the day.  A beautiful day again.  Low 80s.  Two of the couples on our street were getting ready to go on a motorcycle ride.  The couple across from us, Mark and Deb, each have their own bike.  She’s brave.  They told us about a couple of tiki bars we’re going to have to check out.

Me after my walk.  Don't think I'd be able to walk as far and as fast without the back brace and trekking poles.  Thank you Sandy for the back brace!
