Back in South Florida

We arrived in Hobe Sound on November 18 for a month-long stay. We were lucky to find a place to stay as South Florida RV parks are filling up fast this year. Our plan was to kick back and enjoy while doing a few chores. It started that way but has turned into an almost nonstop frenzy of activity as we looked at a few places where we might put down roots, but more on that in another post.

We are only a couple miles from the Hobe Sound Beach on Jupiter Island. Always love the drive through the canopy of banyan trees to the beach.

Jupiter Island is one the wealthiest places in the country. There are many magnificent homes on the ocean shoreline.

The northern end of the island is a wildlife refuge, so there are beautiful beaches with no buildings and few people.

We had two invites for Thanksgiving dinner, one from a local we met the first night and another from the RV park for a traditional potluck dinner. We opted to stay home and had our favorite dish, homemade linguine with clam sauce. It was wonderful.

Saturday we drove to Miami to see Pitt play Miami. We bought a couple tickets from a scalper that gave us great down front seats and access to the Hyundai Club.

As you can see we were real close. Unfortunately the Panthers played terribly, failing to score a touchdown. Other than that we had a fun time with all the Canes' fans.

Look who showed up in South Florida, John and Sharon. It is always great seeing friends on the road.

When we are in the area we always check out the Jupiter Jazz Society Sunday Jam Session. This weeks featured artist was 17 year old Dylan Thomas on sax.

Another special treat was Theo Peoples who has preformed with the Temptations and Four Tops. You never know who will show up at the jam.

John and Sharon hit the dance floor.

We have heard Libra Sene before and were glad to see her again this week. If you are in the area on Sunday don't miss the jam at the Double Roads Tavern in Jupiter.

The last week of November we both celebrated our birthdays. I picked Shrimpers in Port Salerno where we could enjoy arrgh day. 

A couple days later Nanc opted for Taste in Hobe Sound where she loved the crab cakes. We both had great birthdays and love that there are so many wonderful restaurants in the area. 

We are here until December 18 and will then be heading to the Keys for six weeks.
