Something to Crow About

Key West is, well, Key West. You can't really do the Keys without going to Key West and it is hands down some of the best people watching on earth. It is amazing what you see on any street near Duval. Scattered among the various drunks and roosters (yes - lots of roosters) are these entrepreneurs of sorts trying to sell their "talents" (and I use the word loosely) to the tourists. There's "Dirty Joke Guy" who will tell you jokes - the more you pay, the dirtier they are. There's the couple who fashion hats out of palm branches they no doubt "borrowed" from the neighbors' trees, mimes (who really likes mimes? they weren't exactly raking it in) And there was this young kid who was very astute at reggae music but who we felt should have been in school on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. Hmmm

But, our friends Dave and Lynn introduced us to a new little gem among the usual beer joints. Across from the Westin Marina (where we swayed all night on our earlier trip) is a lovely little island called Sunset Key. You can only get there by shuttle and there is a fabulous restaurant overlooking the famous Key West Sunsets. Food was fab and the ambience was magnificient! I'd go back for sure. Thanks Lozons.
