#Summer2021 - More Marathon and Sombrero Beach

Day 9

Today was our last day in Marathon, and you can bet we will be back.  Since this summer is our 15 year anniversary, we have even discussed making this trip a 5 year plan.

Since the forecast had the rain holding off we went to Sombrero Beach with Fergus, after returning to Publix for Sadie and Stephanie sunshirts.

Sombrero was not as nice as St. Pete, but it allowed dogs so that was a plus.  This must be seaweed season and the Atlantic waters were cold!  We visited with Beach goers before leaving.


And since there is a strong Cuban influence here, we went to L Ninas for Cuban cuisine.  Stephanie had salted garlic chicken with fried plantains.  I had a traditional Cuban sandwich.  Sadie had Cuban tamales.. Then a Cuban coffee: coffee so strong it is served by the shot! 


We returned to camp to do laundry.  It was more humid this afternoon but the salt breeze was nice.  It did not take long for most clothes to dry.

One of the neatest things about Jolly Roger is the snorkeling area just off the campsites. Steph particularly enjoyed that!  In fact, she saw a skate, numerous parrotfish. And even a large sting ray.  And some of it was captured on the GoPro!

Brandon and family spent the day in the Everglafes and Biscayne, so we fixed supper - salmon cakes on the Blackstone.  Then, to bed early since they were spraying for mosquitos at 9.  

We leave tomorrow.  But we will be back!

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
