Saturday Feb 18: Key West and Other Guests

John and Daisy where here last year but never made it the extra 55 miles to Key West - place of the southernmost point of the US. This year it just seemed like the thing to do! The question is: how many people does it take to read a map? Apparently all four of us ... but we did well. fjd;ajf ;sfoiw jee f a; fjaij ofoweifjqfoqo;ff jeoji fwoeji qofeei iofejq lef;oi wj;efj qwo fw;eo jq;o jpfjoeopqp9382 29rj2 32p owq rq2 2pq j9q3rj q3jowe qeo;r4 9prpqjerwoejr q9pr23qrjowej 39qp28 rs a;oife w;ef ;oj f; maowei ;am ei; fi;eaiwf; i;oaeowwioaj f ;oiaeio; a ;af a;ijiweof ;a f;eofji a;jifwoaiw ejfo;awjfo;efj;aj eaoef 3 3 r 2332r 23r33o923j 3o 3f3

Found Duval St and took the trolley tour for about an hour. Saw all of the highlights of the key including the end of Highway 1 (mile 0 marker), fun trees of various kinds and the Key West lighthouse. Of course the tour included Hemingway's home and misc other famous people (just driving past of course).

Also spotted was the key lime pie guy - if you've never had key lime pie you have to try it when you get a chance. Apparently it's best when dipped in chocolate :-) John and Daisy opted for a yogurt lunch at the new self-serve yogurt place. In the end, you pay by the ounce for your choices of yogurt, syrups and toppings. But really? $20 worth??! Strangely enough, there are many roosters and chickens running around the island. Seems the city government banned keeping chickens in the backyard for all residents, so everyone that had chickens penned up simply released them to run wherever!

We sent John and Daisy on their way (headed to Terri and Scott's) and on Wednesday welcomed my brother, Warren, and his wife, Elin. They are such gypsies! Again, stayed one day and were on their way back north (well at least northern Florida!) Peter and Cheryl (from Surona - travel friends from the loop) also came. It's been another great week in paradise ......
