We took a trip down to Key West today. Its 50 miles and takes about an hour. We were surprised at the relative quietness of the town. The parking lots were essentially empty and the city marina in Key West Bight which is normally overbooked was, as seen in the top picture, empty. The locals said in a hopeful tone that things would pick up after Christmas. The second picture is of an empty Mallory Square. About an hour before sunset this area will fill with tip seeking acts, food vendors and thousands (maybe hundreds some nights)of people; every night, year round. The bottom picture is our (mine anyway) favorite restuarant in Key West. Love the raw oysters on the half shell and other great sea food. We'll be back to Key West quite a few times this winter.

I would like to be in Key West right now. Be prepared for crazy weather when you get back up here. It started out in the 60's yesterday and dropped 20 degrees during the day. It is supposed to be up and down like that all this week. And raining...have I mentioned the rain? Fortunately no one in the house but me has gotten sick yet though.
Bring some nice weather from the Keys with you when you come next week...
