Iguana Country!


Our two weeks in full hook-ups is over.  Sigh!  Those two weeks just flew by!  Good-bye ocean view, good-bye dolphins, we have moved to Iguana Country for our next rotation in dry camping.
So, during the FHU weeks, we spent some time with our friends Ken and Cheryl from New York. They told us the Butterfly Conservatory was a must see and they would like to show it to us. They were right! If we had any stress, it would have dissolved as we walked through the atrium’s doors and into a lush garden world filled with butterflies floating by, little birds chirping, a bubbling brook filled with very large Koi and soft music playing. We got some great photos and posted them in Webshots.
Afterwards, we walked to the SouthernMost Beach CafĂ© and had a delicious lunch with a great view of the beach. This place is actually located at the SouthernMost Hotel.  We don’t usually eat in hotel restaurants, but this one had very good ratings/reviews. We took a chance and the reviews were correct.





Hitch and Dusty enjoyed their two weeks in full hook up camping by chasing small geckos and climbing the palm trees. On one walk, Hitch ran and climbed four trees. He wore Sandy out that day. As you can see, chasing geckos wore Dusty out.


We had a lot of questions about our screen house, so here are some more photos with it folded up and in its cover.










Now we are back to dry camping. The location is superb. Our new neighbors are great, the two legged ones, pets, and  Iguanas.  We have two cat neighbors on the right side, a dog, grey parrot, and cat on the left side, and numerous Iguanas out the front.  We have a view of the ocean – smaller, but we can still see it. It is not as windy as our last site which is great for the screen house and we have better shade with a tree in the next site. We do have one problem with the site – a low communications wire that our motorhome’s antennas hit as Dan backs into place.   Otherwise, it is perfect.  So, this is home for the next couple of weeks.
