Everglades National Park:  Pretty cloudy this morning.  I took care of the cleaning.  After lunch we headed out to get a paper and pick up some produce.  There’s a large produce stand just a few miles outside the park.  It’s called “Howard is Here”—weird name, but a lot of their produce comes fresh right out of their fields.  We picked up some raw peanuts, some tomatoes, sweet corn, and some pickled vegetables that Mike likes.  On the way back we stopped at the Anhinga Trail which was really crowded with people—mostly Europeans.  Decided to skip that and just come on back.  Relaxed outside for a while.  I just finished a book by Mark Twain, “Roughing It” about his travels across country on an Overland stage back in the 1860s.  Bought it when we were in Virginia City.  I chuckled all the way through it. Mike grilled up some steaks for dinner.  I cooked up the sweet corn along with some tiny potatoes I bought a while back.  81 today.
