Exploring Jupiter

Yesterday was a cloudy day, but NO RAIN!  It is still quite cool, but that is the case even in the Keys.  We needed to get out and do something, so we went to check out a few beaches, including Jupiter Beach and John D MacArthur Beach State Park.  Both have beautiful and expansive beaches along the coast.  The state park also has a large lagoon good for kayaking, and a long bridge taking visitors from the mainland over to the beach.  For those who cannot walk the distance, there is a trolley service to take them across the bridge, and even back to the parking lot.  We did not use it, although Jim's hips were bothering him considerably when we got back to the car.

Our last stop was Blowing Rock Park, where the waves crash over the rocks with quite a splash around high tide.  We were not disappointed. 





After a good day touring about, we decided to visit the South Florida Fair on Tuesday.  It was hard to resist the cost of $2 per person, plus lots of fair food to sample and SMELL.  We checked out several areas, saw a few Elvis impersonators (not bad!), and checked out the animals.
