Loaded up the ford truck with 6 people and 6 bikes this morning. We drove down towards the everglades national park, which is about an hour and a half away. Made it to everglades city around noon and parked at the national park entrance. Decided to ride our bikes down the causeway over to Chokoloskee. Quite an interesting island, basically in the middle of nowhere..
First stop at the Smallwood Trading Post
Cracking open coconuts for an afternoon snack
Took a couple hours to explore the island with a few stops along the way. Turned out to be a great weather day for biking, with a bit of headwind going back to the truck. Had to drop off my cousin at the airport at 6, so we stopped at bonefish grill for an early dinner of happy hour appetizers and drinks. Hadn’t eaten bang bang shrimp in a long time, hard to pass up at only $5. The rest of the group hadn’t been to a bonefish before, but they all enjoyed it.
Plants in our self-watering bin are doing great. Haven’t watered them again since planting two weeks ago. Shipment of worms showed up too, so we are off and running with vermicomposting!
Time to eat garbage!
Fresh veggies coming soon
