The Days Inn we stayed at was OK, just that it doesn't meet the modern standards. It even still has a tube TV! Just down the street on this Monday we came across the weekly farmer's market. Too bad we can't take anything home.
In Tavernier we found the little known Florida Bird Rehab Center. There wasn't much to it but it was fun to be up close and personal with the pelicans. Great lunch of seafood at this place we found called The Hideout. Right to Jules' Undersea Lodge (don't know, Google it).
WE were going to arrive in Miami with some time left this afternoon so we decided to check out "Jungle Island", a place that Janet and Shawn had visited 7 years ago (while waiting for us to arrive) and highly recommended. After many wrong turns and missed exits, we finally found it - we pulled into their parking lot only to find a $10.00 fee. Oh Well. We walked into the park and find the Senior rate is $37.50 and there was only an hour left before they closed. Needless to say, we went away. So we paid $10.00 to use their restrooms!
We found our hotel, dropped off Linda and our stuff, and I went on a real adventure - to return the rental car and find my way back to the hotel. 90 minutes later, I was back to the hotel. The Miami Airport Rental Car Center is huge! Its a giant 3 story parking structure, with all the rental companies there. Its a long way from the terminal, requiring a short train ride. Dinner was a pizza ordered in - there are no eateries around here.
So, we figure we have to get the shuttle back to the airport at 3:30AM!!Our flight leaves at 5:50, but I can tell one has to allow plenty of time in this enormous airport. And the weather report for tomorrow around Atlanta does not sound good.
(Note: its like another country around here. Everybody is Cuban or Bahamian. They are different from the Mexicans we are used to!)
