2/15/10 The snow is all melted, and today thousands of female robins are migrating thru north Texas. (15 days after the males passed by)
Here is a email from my friends Bernd & Margitta. Bernd is an excellent photographer and these are his pictures from Costa Rica. The bridge to Panama looks pretty scary to me! Don't feel too sad for the broken truck, it is now all repaired and running fine. (see earlier posts)
Hi Paul,
super, that you had such a good week with your son John. We wish you also much fun with the amphicar and all the time with Gayla – our greetings are for Gayla too.
Sorry that I answer so late. We were a long time on “primitive Campgrounds” without electricity and Internet.
After Key West we spend some days again in the Everglades Nationalpark. Then we drove to the Lake Okeechobe for some days.
The next destination was near Sebastian on the East-Coast. That was a very nice place (also for you, for boats, fishing, Spanky), it was called Long Point Campground North of the State Park Sebastian Inlet (that was full – here are so many snowbirds, all places on Stateparks must be reserved 11 month in advance told me the ranger).
On Long Point we spent a nice week with sunshine and a very friendly american neighbour “Scott” with 2 beautiful dogs.
After that time we went to Cape Canaveral. Bernd wanted to see the Kennedy Space Center. And we were very lucky there, because we have seen the start of a Space Shuttle. The first morning it has been cancelled (the weather was to cloudy), but on Monday morning at 4.15 we have seen it (we were the night on the side of the A1A at Banana River. Really a good spot to see the Start.) We also visited Disney World in Orlando and now we are on Flagler Beach north of Daytona.
Our ship started probably the 25th of March in Baltimore and then it’s time to say “Goodbye America”. We will take a flight this time, because this ship doesn’t allow passengers on board. So we went now every day a little bit more NORTH, even if the weather is not so funny there.
The new pictures are not ready for E-Mail. So I send you some of Costa Rica again.
You can see one of a boat-trip in the Mangrove-Forest, one of the beach of Samara with wild horses. The next is the bridge between Costa Rica and Panama. This bridge is the border. It is very narrow but not one way. You must take care, that no other truck or car is coming. To go backwards is really dangerous.
The last picture is our poor truck after the engine breakdown in Costa Rica. You see, even the monkeys look very sad, when they see this trouble.
Many greeting for you and Gayla and a little Hug for Spanky.
