Daily Walk

We are right across the All American Highway (Overseas Highway) where I can walk on the Old Seven Mile Bridge, which used to be the railroad built by a man named Flagler in 1912.  In fact, they just had the 100-year celebration of the bridge this past weekend.  It's a two-mile walk to Pigeon Key, which is where Bettye lived when her family first moved to Marathon and which is now the museum, and a two-mile walk back.  The scenery is gorgeous (lots of water, birds, and boats).  If you look closely, you can see four juvenile pelicans that were escorting me on my first walk -- they would fly in front of me, circle around and fly behind me, and once they were right beside me.  This was an overcast afternoon, but it's been mainly sunny since then.  Enjoying every degree of it!
