Life is more than good at Bahia Honda..... for the mosquitoes. We just completed our emergency evacuation. This chair is in our "back yard" breeding ground at the Volunteers' RV parking. The camper in #20 emailed me today (Oct 28th) about their emergency evacuation, after vicious mosquito attacks. And we were informed of at least one other camper who had to get medical attention for their bites. Hurricane Rina is now a tropical storm, which chose The Keys as its dumping grounds for the moisture it's been scooping up in The Gulf. At first a lake rising around us was rather a novelty. Our neighbor, John, just got out his kayak to mock the flood. But then the police boat SANK, Buttonwood Campground vanished under water, and our RV sank ever deeper in the sodden mess.
The brown waters of the campground made islands of the restrooms. The campers were very brave. Here's Volunteer Andrew strolling in our front yard. And the last pictures are of park rangers saving the police boat. 
So...what does one do? There are better things to do with a life than offer your body as mosquito bait and live trapped in an RV to escape the bugs, mud and weather. Let's go on an adventure! We really are in Florida, and our youngest son and his darling family are in Orlando. Where should we flee? (2B continued....)
