Hello. Here we are as far south as we can get (drive). Have tickets tomorrow to go to Cuba. Sure is breezy & cool here. Like it real well. Coolest place we've found. Larry's bites are much better. We can get his eye open now. Took him to a DR. in miami this morning. He gave us some medicine which really relieved him a lot. Those bites sure swell on him. Love Mary R.Dimensions
