We had 1 1/4" of rain overnight - just poured at times and water standing everywhere today! Since everything was very wet and steamy this morning, we went to the fitness center to exercise. Had breakfast and Joe and Jane picked us up at 10:45 and we were off to Big Pine Key (south). We had lunch at the No Name Pub near No Name Key and it was quite an experience. Mark, J and J had been there, but my first time. This small place out in the middle of nowhere is full of one-dollar bills stapled to the walls and ceiling - latest count, says between 50-60,000 !!!!!

Dollar bills are everywhere

We had a delicious lunch of nachos and their specialty pizza - all excellent along with my sangria. FUN place. We drove around No Name Key, stopped at the Wildlife Refuge, but no alligators out today. We did see a big bird called an Anhinga. And saw one of the little key deer. Just before we were ready to cross the 7-mile bridge on our way back to Marathon, traffic was slowing down and a police car went flying by. Luckily Joe realized we were going to be sitting a while, so pulled off at Veterans Memorial Park - thee last stop before entering the bridge. We sat by the beach for almost an hour with traffic backed up 5 miles. It was a 3-vehicle accident (1 pick-up and 2 cars).
Pat and Jane sitting at the park waiting - we each brought back leftover pizza so debated about setting up a stand OR going car to car. Nah....just kidding. Planning to enjoy the leftovers tonight.
