Saw this yellow-crowned night heron on the beach.
These white ibis were wandering around the park.
One of the biggest treats was all of the turtle nests on the beach, loggerheads, leatherbacks, and green turtles. Each stake represents a nest.
After a visit to the local turtle hospital we went to see a turtle released back into the ocean. What a thrill!
One night we went out and were able to watch a loggerhead come up on the beach, dig her nest, lay eggs and then disappear back into the ocean.
Ray and Yolande at the Lazy Loggerhead Cafe.
Ray, Yolande, and I fell so in love with Jupiter that we surprised ourselves by renting this mobile home for the next year. It is in Suni Sands Park which looks like a place right out of the 60s. This gives us a chance to explore living in Florida and to get to spend more time together. Ray and Yolande are looking forward to bringing their dogs out to run on the beaches. I am looking forward to sharing this retreat with family and friends.
This is the view from our new mobile retreat.
Ray flew back to CA and Yolande and I drove back to NC. On the way home we stopped at this B&B in St. Augustine, FL. I took a leisurely bath in this tub with a view of the ocean.
Then we stopped in Charleston the next night and fell in love with "South of Broad". Yolande went home to CA on Thursday with plans to meet back in Jupiter in the fall.

This cafe was our morning stop after a beach walk each day.

Good to be home... but the memories are priceless!
