SATURDAY FEBRUARY 13TH

We returned to the Oddysea close to midnight. Our connecting flight was delayed in St. Louis, so we didn’t arrive in Miami until after 9 p.m. Friends, Mark and Tami Heimer, are joining us for the next two weeks. Their flight arrived earlier in the day so they rented a car and cruised South Beach. They saw many interesting places they would have liked to stop and check out but quickly figured out that South Beach on a Saturday means you’ve got a snowball’s chance in Miami of finding a place to park. They picked us up at the airport and we made the 2 ½ hour drive to Marathon. During the daylight hours it is an incredibly beautiful drive. At night, it’s just a very narrow road with no shoulders, in the dark. Mark did a good job of getting us here safely. We were all pretty pooped and glad to hit the sack.
