We got up this morning and said goodbye to the boat and to Key West. We hopped on the motorcycle and took off back to Big Pine Key and reality. It was a cloudy and somewhat cooler morning with high winds. This made the ride back a little rough.........but, hey, any day on the back of a Harley in Key West is a good day!
We got our truck and trailer and headed back to the mainland. Pick Up Guy wasn't home when we dropped his bike off, but he left a voicemail telling us goodbye and hoped we enjoyed the sunshine and Key West. Is there any way to ever thank somebody who does something so kind and generous for you? Especially a stranger that doesn't owe you a thing.
We went up the Florida Turnpike onto I-75 - Alligator Alley toward Naples. You can actually see alligators sunning along side the highway. There's a fence between you and the alligators to help prevent them getting on the road. This is the closest I've ever gotten to an alligator in the wild.
We made it to Naples around 5:00 pm. We have some friends in Naples and we went to their house to stay for a day or two. They are absolutely great people. They took us around Naples to look at some of the big, fancy homes there. They also took us to a place called Doc's Beach House to eat supper. Click here to view my post.
After eating, we drove around just a little more and then headed back to the house. Some other friends dropped by and we had coffee and pumpkin cheesecake and just sat and visited a little.
I'm excited about tomorrow night as we will be eating at our friend's restaurant, Bianca's Ristorante in Fort Myers. I'll be sure and post a blog on this one!
