Turtle & Turtle
Hi Buddies!
This is the last episode of mom's beach day last Sunday. If you are wondering why I keep writing about that day, it simply is because my life has become a boring rutine of go-pee-and-poop-outside and then I come right back to the house. And don't even think this is to protect me from possible infections I may get outside. No. It is because mom and dad can't resist the mosquitoes. So selfish! Since I can't handle this anymore, I am planning to runaway during the weekend with a special secret friend to a special secret place.
So back to mom's day at the Keys, look what she found on the road! Stubby's mom wrote about this place a while ago. Mom was so excited to see it, dad had to make a U-turn for mom to take the pictures.
Across the street they found this tiny place, that may be a house (according to dad) or may be a bar (according to mom).
There was so much traffic mom and dad had to make an emergency stop to fulfill daddy's stomach. Daddy said, we will stop in the first place we see to our right. And the winner was...
Mom and dad sat in a small area without windows. Mom asked dad to buy her a house with a room like this (YEAH, RIGHT!).
The place was a little pricey but totally worth it. Mom and dad are smart so they ordered the cheapest dishes (and no fish for mom) and a dessert. SO GOOD!!!
They were told this is the best breakfast restaurant around, so they are planning to go back soon. Obviously, she will have to call before to ask if I can go along.

GREEN TURTLE INN!
The waiter explained the history of the place to mom and dad. Since it was Sunday, mom was on "spanish mode" so she barely understood any. All she can recall is that this was the only lodging in the area while the train was under construction by Mr. Flagler, so all the workers would stay here. Remember the railroad? That was the only way to go to Key West by land for quite some time. When the city developed this was still a motel and a bar. It closed a few years ago and reopened later as a fancy restaurant, keeping the same name.

And they finally arrived to the beach.
Friends,
Some of you have asked about those huge fishies. That's what daddy wanted to show mom and mom had to hold her breath and almost faint while crossing through the seafood restaurant to go see them. Do you think it was worth it?
Anyway, daddy said those fishies are called Tarpons and that humans don't eat them. I bet they can eat humans! They are huge!
Poor daddy. He had to carry everything by himself. I bet he missed his doggy son to help carry things. For sure I was going to carry my leash and harness.

So just to avoid any confusions, I didn't go with them that day. I am adding pictures of myself because I am beautiful and this is my blog. The above picture was taken a while ago, at a corporate meeting where the decision of increasing my carrot intake was to be made.
So back to mom and dad's beach day, they drove three hours to get there. I am glad I didn't go because dogs are not allowed in the beach, shoreline, pathways, buildings... so where am I allowed? Inside the car only???
The place is called "Bahia Honda State Park". There is an old railroad crossing the park. Do you see it? It looks more like an airplane road to me. Why is it so high?
There was also this cute mini train station.
Poor daddy. He had to carry everything by himself. I bet he missed his doggy son to help carry things. For sure I was going to carry my leash and harness.
Do you guys know or have been in the US1 road? It runs on top of the small bridge you see in the bottom of the picture, all the way to Key West.
They went to the other side of the beach, the one on the Atlantic Ocean, not the Gulf of Mexico's side.
I hope mom and dad learned their lesson and don't leave me at home the next time they venture to the beach. I could have helped dad putting up the umbrella, too!

On their way to the beach...
... mom and dad found an art fair.
with nice colorful paintings framed on old crab traps,
and other art items nice as well.
There were chairs to relax by the sea,
flying pigs hanging from the ceiling
and ghosts roaming through the exhibits.
There was a seafood restaurant that kept mom away.
Mom doesn't like to see, smell or taste fish or seafood*.
I don't like to stay home.
But I had to stay home, and mom had to smell the fish.
Daddy asked her to follow him to see something interesting in the back of the restaurant.
This is me last winter in Saint Augustine, Florida.
I am sure I am much more interesting than whatever dad wanted to show mom.
And even though I have bad breath sometimes, I don't smell like fish.
*NOTE: Mom won't eat fish or seafood unless it is in ceviche or jalea (peruvian style deep fried fish and calamari). For everything else, she will say she is allergic.
