Jupiter Island - Rich and Famous


Monday Morning --
Another Great Tour with Tom and Sandra
Breakfast first-- Duke's Lazy Loggerhead Cafe with the best almond crunch French toast the world has ever seen!
The best of family and tour guides!
And, now on to the Rich and Famous

I couldn't get good shots of these homes of the rich and the famous. They are, of course, mostly hidden by fences and hedges. They are all lovely and luxurious and the row of these mansions goes on mile after mile on Jupiter Island. Each place must be worth millions. I can't imagine how many people have SO MUCH money -- and, most of them don't even live here all the time!
I think Tom said this is some construction happening at Tiger Woods' home.




We took off our shoes and walked a bit along the beach/ The water was 86 degrees; the air temperature about 90 I think. It was fun watching the little kids playing in the water.


Trees, trees, trees. We are fascinated with banyans, palms of various types, and others. This is Jupiter Island, the home of celebrities such as Tiger Woods. These pictures were taken north of that row of mansions, near Hobe Beach.
Banyans with their strange root system.

Feathery pine-like branches and groves of palms.


Banyan tree lane along with the "tree inspectors".
And now we're back home with the "no so rich and famous" doing laundry!

  1. Wow. What a beautiful spot. Sandra and Tom are pretty lucky to live there!! The beach looks glorious. Today we did some back to school shopping and now I'm heading out to buy groceries...not nearly as exciting as your day, but fun nonetheless. I am nervous for Maddie, but I'm sure she'll do fine. Middle school feels like a big step.

  3. Hi Dorothy. I think I just deleted my own comment :( Just caught up and wow - what gorgeous scenery you are inhaling! It's spectacular. Don't care much for the alligators though - they've always given me a complex! We missed you at staff retreat. It was fabulous this year. Can't believe we are back at it but I cannot wait to see our kids tomorrow!! Stay safe. Tell MA she can hold the gators' mouths shut - you are not allowed!!
