After a huge breakfast at Mangrove Mike’s Cafe 2 doors down from our motel, we visited Robbie’s Marina and watched the birds and fish after perusing the craft vendor stalls. After lunch we stopped in at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park on Key Largo before heading back to Miami. It was a great week and I”d love to go back again!
