Conch Republic

Welcome to the Conch Republic!  Key West, FL; home of Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams and at times, thousands of parrot heads.

Today is day 2:  A day filled with sun and alcohol, sunsets and laughter .  I think that is what Key West is about.  Key West is about relaxation, it’s about fun, it’s about being here, just here; not about plans, worries or stress.  We are now closer to Cuba than we are to Miami.  We are in the United States but may as well be a thousand miles away.

We will be cruising for 2 days before we get to our next destination:  Sint Maarten – “The Friendly Island”.  Until then, I raise my glass – Salud.
