Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  This will be the last warm day for a while.  We hung around our site all day.  I sat outside reading and watching the buzzards making lazy circles up in the sky.  Our neighbor, Sandy, told us that sometimes eagles will fly around with the buzzards, and, sure enough, there was an eagle up there making big lazy circles along with the buzzards.  And even a couple of pelicans!  Later in the late afternoon we headed to Key West to have dinner at Michael’s. As we headed out, we noticed a mist or smoke in the flats.  Turns out a heavy fog bank was rolling in.  Really weird.  Like driving into the abyss of a Steven King novel.  While waiting outside for the restaurant to open we were talking to a couple who live on their boat.  He’s retired Navy, and they are docked at the Naval Air Station marina on Boca Chica.  He was stationed here years ago when he attended an Officer’s Training School.  I’m sure he retired at a very high rank.  They live on their 42-foot trawler.  After spending a few weeks here in the Keys, they’re heading to the Bahamas for a few weeks and then up to the St. Lawrence, Montreal and Quebec.  I’m sure they live very well.  We had a great dinner at Michael’s.  After a seafood crepe appetizer, I had grouper Oscar and Mike had veal saltimbocca.  Excellent!  Walked back to our parking spot and drove back home through the fog.  82 today.
