If you are not doing so, I request that right now, you start thinking about how you can and begin the planning for taking it on and making it happen. I have had no greater sense of peace and fulfillment then the experience I am having right now.
We have been in the Florida Keys since Friday the 25th. It is beautiful here! The weather has been just perfect.
Between the air, the temps, the real lack of crowds, plus the additional benefit of the serene, yet life filled waters of the Gulf and the absolute glory of the Atlantic, I fell alive.
We went to go fish on the docks the first morning here and Flipper swam past about 25' in front of us. Jazz almost pee'd himself! He caught a fish later in the day and ran full speed back to the camp, poor fish still dangling from the line extended from the pole of a happy boy. It felt like I was looking at Huck Finn!
Later that day a Bald Eagle landed in the Norfolk Pine 75' from our camp site. See if you can find him at the top of the tree.
I think you can enlarge the picture by clicking on it, if you like!
Yesterday we spent the day in Key West and had the pleasure of sharing the phenomenal street performers with a wide eyed and captured Jasper who sees magic thru his 9 year old eyes. We stood at the end of Route 1 - Mile ZERO with a sunburned and tired of walking kid ....
and also at the Southern Most Point in the Continential US and ate the Southern Most Delicious Ice Cream (Flamingo Crossing) at the south end of Duval Street. If you get the chance, partake, its worth the calories (they also have non fat yogurt) but go for the ice cream.
We saw the "ZENN" car - Zero Emission No Noise parked in the driveway of the southern most house and then I get the treat of the day and saw Castro and some woman he is hanging with these days standing at the south point of the US. I think he heard that Bush was going to speak on Monday and was looking for a way back to his country to avoid the BS if possible.

Here are some pictures of the past Couple of Days. I hope you enjoy just a bit!
Today we took a glass bottom boat tour to the great Coastal Reef that lies 6 miles off the shores of Florida in US territorial waters and it was simply magnificent and filled with life. I was humbled by this living creature and all of the eco and bio systems it supports.
Tomorrow Jazz and I will spend the entire day on a tourist trap all inclusive water sports boat off of Key West. Meg will get the day off at the camp while we play with the toys.
He Can Hardly Wait!!! This WAS BULLCRAP~ We drove all the way to Key West (2 hours) and they decided they weren't doing the trip before we got there and never called us to tell us. AH!
