We are in a cell phone dead zone. We keep trying to use our phones, only to have the calls dropped or never get through in the first place. That also means that the Internet service is SOOOO slow. Last night I tried to add some pictures to the post, but the service was too slow and they wouldn't load. I will try a couple tonight and see what happens. This morning Norm, Sue, John, and I went to Coral Castle. One Russian man 5 feet tall and weighing only 100 pounds built this castle and the surrounding sculptures from coral by himself using only handmade tools. When he was 26 years old, he was engaged to a 16 year old woman named Agnes. The night before the scheduled wedding, she canceled the wedding saying he was too old for her. He was heartbroken. He came to the United States and he built this castle and the surrounding sculptures as a testament of his love for Agnes. She has never seen it, but was aware of its existence. It was pretty neat to see, but I wouldn't want to live there. It doesn't seem like it would be very comfortable living there. After lunch, we took the car back and now we are without wheels again. It looks like we will not have a weather window soon, at least not until after Saturday sometime. So, we wait.
