Sunday - January 6

This beautiful sunny Sunday started with a walk and then breakfast.   Jane and Joe picked us up and off we went to Big Pine Key for 11:00 Mass at St. Peter - had a delightful priest and enjoyed all the camaraderie of this very friendly parish.    Then back out in the sunshine to Deer Key where the Key deer reside - only place you'll find them is in the Florida Keys.   One of the world's most endangered animals, they are nature's smallest version of the white-tailed deer.   Due to proximity, the Key deer have lost their fear of humans.

Little Bambi is standing next to a boat trailer - tiny little thing for full grown 
Enjoying apples, carrots, etc. that a friendly homeowner threw out.    I could get close to take this picture and Bambi never moved.
 
After our search for Key deer (we found 2) + a lazy sleepy alligator, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Springer's.......seafood chopped salad, fish Reuben's, chicken sandwich, fried okra, club sandwich plus yummy rum punch drinks!
 
Can't beat this delicious fare down here in the Keys (forgot to mention last night's early-bird dinners cost $13.99 each......what a deal)!
 
Back to Catrina....took a little nap and then long bike ride!   Very enjoyable day!   Here's to a good week for all...
