Carla Edwards met me at the dock on Saturday morning.
It was pretty windy, but we rowed out to the monument island.
These are all Carla’s pictures. I took some pictures of our trip, but then I lost my camera later that night. (here’s how I lost it)
Carla noticed that the trees on the island were filled with coconuts.
We tried to knock one of them down.
We took a walk around the island and spotted some strange prints in the sand.
And then we found out what was making them.
There is a monument on the island for Henry Flagler.
He was a real-estate developer.
From what I read on the internet, it seems like he was responsible for most of the development of Miami.
In fact, he is said to be the ‘father’ of Miami.
So they built this island for him in 1920.
We paddled back when Duke and Lan called us from the shore.
