2013, almost over.

 

 

 

Where did 2013 go? Many good and sad things happened. I suppose everybody has those feelings.

I want to make this last post of the year one with a lot of photo’s which are memories for me from January till December. Some I did show and some are new here.Most from places we visited. The photo’s of our Royal family I took while watching TV.

I want to wish you all a happy and most of all healthy 2014.

Christmas 2013.

 

 

For almost 5 whole days we had no internet. There was no connection. So no mailing, no blogging,  not visiting my blogging friends. Sorry about that.

Thank goodness it was fixed this morning.

So what do you do with all that spare time? LOL.

Getting ready for Christmas and

I made photo’s of my Christmas home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I want to wish you all a wonderful Christmas.

Today I have some photo’s from our neighborhood I took a few weeks ago. No more warm Florida .

The man and the little boy were feeding the birds and wow, they made a lot of noise. They must have been hungry.

Key Islamorada # 4

 

 

Next to our hotel was a little harbor where people could go fishing with one of the boats. It was fun to go there and watch the boats come back and see what the catch of the day was.

Chesapeake hotel, Islamorada.

Islamorada 2.

I am afraid  I will be going on showing photo’s from Islamorada for a bit longer. This place is so beautiful. 

And since we are having rain and heavy storms over here at the moment it is nice to look at some sunny photo’s.

Can you see why my husband loves it here. He does catch fish ; ))

A regular visitor. Don’t know what he is looking at.

Can you imagine kayaking on the Atlantic Ocean.

and a wonderful place for kiting.

Perfect place to get a little wind and hide from the sun.

Another regular visitor waiting for some  fish. Some years ago there used to be dozens of them around our hotel , now there are only a few. I wonder what happened..

Key Islamorada.

 

 

For our last week in Florida we went to our most favorite place in the world, Key Islamorada. We always stay in the same resort and when you look at the photo’s you will see why .

If you want to know more about beautiful Islamorada , here is the link.

The weather doesn’t look real nice but it was warm and when the sun was shining it was too hot. Enough places to stay in the shadow if we wanted it.

 

 

So peacefull.

 

 

 

 

He is spotting fish.

 

 

Waiting for my husband to give him some fish.

 

 

 

Now, what else can we want, sun, sea and our own beach at the Atlantic Ocean.

My favorite place. Will show more photo’s next time.

Key Largo.

 

 

After our two days stay in Miami Beach we went for a short stay to Key Largo, first of the fabulous Florida Keys. The Keys are indeed fabulous and oh so beautiful. I have a link here to Key Largo but if you want to learn more about the Keys just Google Florida Keys.

http://www.visitflorida.com/en-us/cities/key-largo.html.

Maybe some of you remember that movie with Humpfrey Bogart and Kathryn Hepburn “Key Largo” that was filmed on this island. And maybe you remember that boat the African Queen? I made a photo of that same boat, much smaller than you would have thought.: ))

 

 

 

Reflection of the harbor on the bottom of the photo.

 

 

And a few more photo’s of the Diving Capital of the world where you find flowers everywhere.

 

Also here on this island we ha a wonderful time, nice and warm  and blue skies every day. What else could we want.

A big thank you to the hosts.

Sunday, Monday.

What else we did in Miami besides being lazy?

We walked on the beach, looking at the birds  and the people. There were more birds too see and kites  and we went to the mall and of course we shopped.

Patiently waiting for their fish.

Any food here?

These kites were so big.

Bet they were hungry.

Lovely.

That beautiful Aventura Mall.

Shopping for the granddaughters .)

Yumm.
