We continue to have fun in Key West. The weather has been mostly rain off and on with lots of wind, which of course we aren't complaining about! Bill and I met up with some of Cindy and Boyd's friends who live in Key West. Great people! We now know where to go for the best happy hour. Last night Bill participated in their Texas Hold'em tournament and had a good time. 
Today I went to the Key West Museum of Art and History. There were lots of exhibits on the maritime history of Key West as well as famous people who called Key West home -- Hemingway,  folk artist Mario Sanchez, shipbuilders, etc. Not bad. 



There were two cruise ships in port today so the streets were crazy. All cruise ships have to depart by sunset since the cruise ship dock is also Mallory Square, where all of the street performers are. Bill and I went to Mallory Square on Saturday night and saw a few good shows (jugglers, fire breathers, etc.)



Tonight we tried a sushi restaurant and just missed the downpour on the way back to the boat. There is something so cozy about being on the boat when it rains. And the lightning is spectacular.  

We have plans to go diving (Bill) and snorkeling (me) tomorrow so we are hoping the rain holds off until the late afternoon. Should be fun. There are several reefs around Key West. 

 
We have plans to leave for Sarasota on Thursday. We are not sure if we are going to do one straight shot (about 36 hours) or if we'll hopscotch. We are in no rush; our contract doesn't start in Sarasota until June 1 anyway. 

The air card came in the mail and Bill dealt with the installation "set backs" with the brilliant people from AT&T so we are now up and running with Internet again. Yeah! In the meantime, I dropped my phone and it shattered into a million little pieces. That too is now fixed. And we ordered another faucet which we (aka Bill) will install when we get a mail shipment (probably in Sarasota).  Life is good.
