Kayaking in a Mangrove Tunnel.......Really Cool!

Pre-Spring Break Party on our Beach

 About 35 very expensive boats showed up today near our beach for a party. The boats come in here because the water is shallow and they can get out of their boats as you can see in the pics. Lots of music, young bodies, boat hopping and loud motors. What an afternoon!

 Here is about 11 boats tied together for easy boat hopping

 The scene from the beach. Every few boats you will find they have a large boat.....the ones that have all the beer and the bathrooms.........

 The large boat in the back would be the bathroom boat.........

 No need to explain this one............

Scene from the beach...........a helicopter kept going over taking pictures so I'm assuming we'll see this on the news this evening...................what a great time they had!

End of our Key West Visit

 Mom and I were part of a Magic Show

 Sun is setting over the tight rope walker....

Sunset in Key West......perfect end to a perfect Day

More of our day in Key West

 If you go 90 miles out from here, you will reach Cuba. You can't get any more South in Florida from here.

 Check out the smallest bar.......can you see Rob in the doorway? I asked the owner what the overhead was like in the place of this size? He laughed....

 The bar where Ernest Hemingway hung out to drink and write.....in that order........his house is still here.

 Me and Earnest......outside the Art Museum.......

 Mallory Square.....where the Sunset Celebrations take place.....busy with artists, buskers, sunsets, food etc.

No need to explain what this guy is doing.....

Great Day in Key West

 Art Museum........didn't get time to go in but may go back and see it again.

 Mile O......the end of the keys and the southern most point of Florida.......the keys begin at approx. Mile 136...........only one road North and South.......looks like a long Eel River Bar

 Check out the new Male Thong......bet you can't guess what the front looks like?
