h! Each day on the island ends with more than a sunset.The crowd gathers on Mallary Square,
Key West.
All bring uniqueness to the harbor for a the 2 hour celebration of the end of yet another day in paradise.
Have always said, there is where you can see the best and the worst entertainment...but today, I have to say everything looks more upscale. Some of the older entertainers are being squeezed out by younger and more daring. The crowd gathers here and there to see stunts and toss a dollar into the collection hat.
A fun way to end the day and then drift off for dinner.
Many sail boats coast by~
The water is always beautiful.
Activity galore surrounds you. Happy and fun crowd.
The ageless CAT MAN is there with his trained cats. He has been there since I have been going...forever, it seems.
The "Red Baron" flies over...a red bi-plane.
Have always wanted to fly with him.. I notice he is less of a dare-devil these days.
We settle down for some fabulous island drink that someone has just come up with...
In the photo is the drink discovered this trip...don't know what it is, but it most certainly was good. The bartender topped it off with a little island rum as he told us of the hurricane of 2005 which put 75% of the island underwater.
The surge of water came, he said, right as the tide was incoming. After the winds, he and friends climbled up to the rooftop of their 2 story house. After a while, he said a love seat came floating down the street along with anything else not tied down.
He said a few hours went by and still sitting up there, they see the love seat floating back down the street ...so they knew the tide was going back out. (Taking the floodwaters with it.)

I have been reading and enjoying your blog. Keep up the great work. You are indeed a great writer.

I LOVE the green background. It makes your blog look classy, frames the pictures nicely. Off line, you and I have been discussing the THEME of your blog. Have you established tags? That's what helps you get "hits." Since you're not selling anything, perhaps you're not interested in getting lots of comments. Great that you have been writing again. Loving it!
