Key Largo - We Explore

 

Nice Docks, easy on and off if you can get a bulkhead

The first order of business was to pick up our rental car from Enterprise at 10:00 am and then find the nearest supermarket for groceries. We used to go to Publix for groceries but we now favor Winn Dixie. They are less expensive than Publix and have just as good produce and other goods. 

The bird sanctuary had spacious cages for recovering birds

At 11:00 on a Thursday morning, there were less than 10 shoppers in the store. It was well stocked and we got everything on our list. We are now good for the next two weeks when we finally get to Key West. 

We do enjoy fish sandwiches

In the afternoon, it was off to the bird sanctuary which specializes in the rescue of birds that come to grief one way or another (hit by car, shot at, etc.) They specialize in getting the birds back into the wild after an accident but occasionally the birds can’t make the leap to getting back to where they were. In that case, they stay at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives. They are well cared for in large caged areas. 

For our evening entertainment, we ate out at Skipper’s Dockside which is just down the dock walk from us. We both had great fish sandwiches and a nice night out. We will attempt a repeat on Saturday.
