Tuesday 3-27 Day of Hiking and Relaxation

Let's go for a hike

We woke up to overcast skies and high humidity with wind. While we were having breakfast it sprinkled but it stopped within a minute. After breakfast we hiked part of the Sugar Cane Trail. We hiked about 4 miles. Since we are just starting our trip we thought it would be best to not hike too far. The trail took us through the forest, there were lots of tree roots growing across the trail so we had to be careful that we didn't fall over them. I tripped over the roots many times. We crossed over a few creeks via bridges. The boards on the bridges needed to be replaced but they were still usable. One of the bridges had been replaced with a metal frame and thick boards. As we hiked the trail we saw a lot of small butterflies and a few mosquitoes. We were on the way to the campground and all of a sudden Larry stopped and put his arms out to stop me from banging into him. There was a big snake laying across the trail. We walked around it because we didn't know what kind of snake it was. It didn't even move. It was a great hike even though it was humid. By the time we got back to the Minnie we had hiked almost two hours and we were tired and sweaty.

For lunch Larry had a salad and I had a couple of eggs on corn tortillas. After lunch we hung around the Minnie, Larry read and I did some Sudoku and started reading a book.

Reading is relaxing

At dinnertime Larry barbecued hamburgers for dinner. After dinner we went for an hour walk around the campground. When we got back to the Minnie we read until it was time for bed. We had a wonderful day.
