Day 115. November 29, 2013. Margaritaville, here we come!

Before leaving our nice hotel in Homestead, FL, we popped over to Key Biscayne National Park.   It was nice, but the glass-bottomed boat was not operating, so we didn't see too much.  Then on to the Keys!  We stopped in a dive shack for some smoked fish.  It was party-time already.

Our first three nights are at a commercial campground, as that is all we could find for these dates.  It is  a "resort" with pool, beach, marina.  Quite nice.  Most campers are here for the season.  We talked with this RV owner.  See pic.  He bought this bus from a rock band.  It pulls another huge storage truck with his car and motorcycle.  It is 75 feet long.  He converted it from a 14-bed "dorm" to a house with full bedroom, bath, kitchen and laundry.  That compares to our car plus camper @ 32.  We are dwarfed by everything around us.  It is at mile marker 39, so not far from Key West.  

There are lots of parasail surfers on our beach.

For dinner, we grilled red snapper, and served with rice and peas.  A nice welcome to the Keys. During the night, we heard a noise and our camper started shaking.  George went to look.  It was a big raccoon jumping on our bike rack, like a seesaw!
