Sunny in Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge

It was Sunday so the traffic moved smoothly from the time we left the Quality Inn in Titusville all the way to the Quality Inn in Florida City. When we passed by Miami we were both nostalgic when we saw signs for Kendall which was where we visited Young in the late 80's.

The highlight of the day was a drive through Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge to see the birds, especially the magnificent Roseate Spoonbill which sits in the islands of brush in the marshes. Note the tiny pinkish speck in the middle of the island on the left in the photo.

Finally it is very warm. Time for shorts and tank tops. The motels are all full and visitors are swimming in the outside pools. Ended the day with dinner at the very popular Sonny's BBQ. The pulled pork sandwich and slab of ribs were fine, but nothing can compare with Wiley's in Savannah. We will have to smoke our own when we go back home.
