Mon Jan 7th

We all just kinda hung out at the condo for the morning, relaxing and enjoying the weather. We had plans to take Terry and Joann to the Jungle Queen in the afternoon. The Jungle Queen is a larger ferry boat ride up the intercoastel tour that ends up on their own private island. My sister Debbie took me and Bonnie on this 18 years ago. At 11:30 we decided to take off for lunch, we were going to the Bahia Cabana, an older restaurant on the waterfront, and right next door to the Jungle Queen. Walking over there we saw one of the fishing charters had just gotten in and they were photographing the catch.

 Bonnie walked over and asked what kind of fish was that green fish, and the captian said "a dead one". After we stopped laughing he said it is a Mahi mahi.

We walked into the Bahia Cabana and had to take a picture of Terry and Joann with the Blues Brothers. We make everybody that visits do this.

 

 We found a table and I attempted to set the timer on the camera to take a self photo...not so good.
As we sat there waiting to order....here comes the Jungle Queen, returning from it's morning cruise.

 We ordered tuna melts and various beveradges and they were excellent. the girls ran around the bar looking for Iowa license plates. They found them but they were the old blue plates from the 80's

 It was time to get on the Jungle Queen so we walked over and got on board. as it departed I grabbed this picture of the Bahia Cabana from the water.

 This picture is of the Pirate's Republic. I just like the way it looks and I love the name. I want to go there.

 This is a picture of the Princess Sarah. It is a private yacht.

 After an hour cruise we got to the island and sat and relaxed waiting for the alligator wrestling to begin.

 I got this video of the aligators, I couldn't get the wrestler because it was crowded around the pit and Bonnie and I had seen it before.

 We got back on the boat for th return trip and there were these people right next to us that asked us to take a picture of them together. In return they took a picture of us.

 Look at how the "other half" live. I think its more like the other .000005 percent of us.

 this house was used in an episode of Miami Vice. I loved miami vice back in the day.

 We got home and decided to use the last evening to sit and relax around the condo and pool.

 Terry and Joann.......Hanging out on the patio. Bonnie made us a supper of Salad and salbury steak and Key Lime Pie. Yum Yum!

 After diner we went for a walk down to the pool area. This is Bonnie showing our guests the fountian area.

 We then grabbed a table by the pool and the girls wante to feel the water. The air temp was 79, and they told me the water felt as warm. I felt the water and I didn't think it was.  They decided to go swimming, we med decided not to.

After the swim, it was around 11 at night so we all went to bed. We have to take them to the airport tomorrow. Wow that time flew by.
