Today we decided to take a little road trip. We headed south to Everglades City. We have been there before both with our boat and by land. We wanted to visit the National Park visitors center and maybe have a little lunch. It was a beautiful day in the 80's. Definitely shorts and t- shirt weather.
After Judy got her National Park passport book stamped it was time for lunch. We drove on out to Chokoloskee but didn't find anything there. On our way back through Everglades city we remembered a little fish market where you could order from the counter and sit and eat outside on picnic tables. Since we had Mollie with us, and it was too hot to leave her in the car, this was the perfect solution.
City Seafood offers both raw seafood to take home, or they will cook it for you. We both opted for the grouper basket with sweet potato fries.
We had a front row seat on the canal that the airboats use to take tourists out for a little glimpse of the Everglades. And Mollie even got to enjoy a little bit of grouper that Judy was willing to share. No way she was getting any of mine!! After our late lunch it was time to head back to Moore Haven. As we were leaving we noticed a beautiful RV Park named Everglades Isles. Strangely there was only one coach in the whole park. Not sure what the story was.
On our way back we noticed that the gators were out enjoying the afternoon sun. At first we stopped to look but soon realized they were everywhere.
We gave up trying to count them and headed back to M RV Resort arriving just in time for happy hour.
One final note. When we got back to the coach I looked up Everglades Isle. Daily 125.00 to 155.00, weekly 790.00 to 950.00, monthly 3,000.00 to 3,600.00. Or if you would like to own your spot, they start at only 168,000.00. Wonder why there was only one coach there?
Until later.
