5/13/11 – Biscayne NP

Biscayne National Park is really close to where we were staying in Homestead.  We didn’t even bother to pack a lunch! 

There wasn’t a lot to do at Biscayne because 95% of the park is water, protecting islands fringed with mangrove forests and coral reefs.  Without a boat, we had limited options, and the 5th wheel doesn't float.  We went to the Dante Fascell Visitors Center, watched the park movie and walked out a short trail that goes out to a pier. 

We did meet some nice folks from Oklahoma who had just returned from a cruise to the Bahamas, so we chatted and walked with them and tried to spot the fish.  Please note:  no fishing in trees! 

There aren't many pictures because we didn't go out to the reef.  Biscayne NP
