Lido Key
January, 9th thru 11th 2009 This travellog covers one day when we drove over the causway to Lido Key & St Armands Circle, barrier islands near Sarasota. We are staying at Sun N Fun RV-Resort in Sarasota. It is $50 a night for FHU paved interior streets and more activities and amenities than you can shake a stick at. The place has over 2,000 sites. It is a *snow bird* destination. We have a "cheap" site, at least the cheapest available. They go up rapidly from our $50 a night site. And even with the economy struggling like it is the place appears to be better than 90% occupied. You really can't tell there is a recession by looking at the population in this place.

Bird of paradise
One of the beautiful bird of paradise blooms. Bird of paradise plants look similar to tiny banana plants.
Orchid tree bloom
This is an orchid tree bloom that has fallen on a sea grape leaf.
While we took a ton of pictures of the blooms on the tree but none of them did the tree justice.
