Still... in... Key... West

 

Bill and I have been having a great time here. We rented scooters for a few days and were able to see the whole island (which isn't very big....) Bill has been to Key West more than a dozen times starting when he was in college up through his days in the Air Force. The Air Force and Navy would have air fights at Boca Chica and they would stay here in Key West at the Truman Navy Annex. So... Bill knows all the sites, restaurants, and beaches. Mary Alice has also given us good tips on restaurants to get to. 

 

We visited Fort Taylor and a few beaches on the scooter. It has been really, really hot during the days. 

 

One of my favorite things about Key West, which I think is different from anywhere else we have visited, is that there is live music all the time in almost every bar or restaurant. This would be a great place for a musician. We have enjoyed listening to all types of music from locals and visitors alike. 

 

We have decided to stay another week in Key West. Our contract in Sarasota doesn't start until June 1st and we are in no immediate rush to get to the West Coast (which we estimate will take about 4 days if we take our time and stop in Marco Island, etc.)

Our internet connection, or rather our air card that gives us an internet connection via AT&T is broken (again!!!!). Bill dealt with the AT&T folks this morning and they will send a new one to the marina here. In the meantime, we are using Bad Ass Coffee for their internet connection (and great coffee). Other "broken" issues include our faucet for the kitchen sink. I was doing dishes last night after dinner and the nozzle basically sheared off. Not sure how we are going to handle that one at the moment....
