Had some drizzle when we packed up and loaded our stuff in the car. We had wanted to walk to The Stuffed Pig for breakfast but the rain stopped that plan, so we drove the short distance only to find the place PACKED....big disappointment as this is such a good place for breakfast (outside with picnic tables under all the trees). Darn.....they are closed Tuesdays/Wednesdays, so....open today and everyone flocked there!
Plan B was back to Sunset Grill for another awesome breakfast with the skies clearing and sun shining once again. We walked to the newly renovated Old 7-mile bridge which has been closed since 2016 ($44m renovation started in 2017 and tah dah....yesterday, the ribbon cutting ceremony and once again open to very happy locals and tourists.) The actual bridge is 2 miles to Pigeon Key and very nicely redone with new deck, new steel railings, painted bicycle/walking lanes and, underneath, the new steel beams painted a bright blue The top railings are very rusty but left that way to keep the aesthetic look from when this was an original railroad bridge to Key West and then modified to handle regular transportation.
It was fun sharing with Jim and Lydia some of our favorites from years past - where we kept Catrina and Daisy, other sites we enjoyed and seeing all the new construction going on. Marathon is a happening place!
