Monday December 24: Christmas Eve in Islamorada

After breakfast out, Steve decided it was time to try biking again. The rib is healing so off we went.

Mmmm ... he's still going after about 5 minutes so that's a good sign!


It was a very nice ride over to the city park a short ways from our marina. Extremely well planned and built park - complete with a fixed fence dog park.

We thought of Fozzi of course!



Part of the park is a marina which is accessible from the bay side. But it's still shallow - there were no sailboats  in the marina as most sailboat's draft is too deep for the channel in.

It's warmed back up again after the front that went through. The one that was causing all of the snow up north. I have to say I don't miss it ...





The shoreline here is all rock - mostly coral. The fossil imprints (not sure I'm describing that accurately) of what I'm assuming were some sort of sea fans or other plant life are so obvious on the coral.

It's like this all along this shore.


It was also hair cut day for Steve. One of these days I may just buzz it all off :-)

Not really - I tried that once - didn't like it!

Calculating how much $$ was saved over 41 years of haircutting: every six weeks (at least) so say 9 cuts a year for 41 years. That's 369 haircuts at an average of $10 a cut would be less than $4000.

Mmmm ... doesn't seem like that much of a savings, does it? It might be off to the barber for his next one!

Christmas Eve: what a better way to start than shrimp and a glass of wine before dinner?

Thinking of all the years of Christmas Eve at the farm. What a tradition that was ....
