They look the other way: Key West Ramblings

Bill has a zen moment at the bottom of the pool

So it begins, three weather-weary couples, a fantastic house in "Old Town" Key West and Spring Break.

Bill and Stacey
John and Tammy
Jim and Cristen

Rented the perfect 3 bedroom house in Old Town from Richard Naselli (find him in VRBO but, if you're under 30 forget it. He doesn't rent to "Spring Breakers") We are literally 200 steps from El Siboney, the best Cuban in the Keys. Our location is just a minutes walk to Duvall with all it's wackiness and it offers the perfect oasis for sunny mornings and afternoons by the pool. A quick "Maxi-Taxi" ride to Albertson's for provisions and we're set for the week. Menu for four of our meals includes;

Paella
Grilled Chicken Salad
Surf and Turf
Fish Tacos

Everything made in our own well appointed kitchen. Saves us from eating cardboard "fishbites" at the Hog's breath, "YUCK"!

Great Interior, Bedrooms, lots of Cuban Tile!!

El Siboney

First evening walked down to the Square to celebrate the sunset with all the rest of the pirates and pagans and grabbed quick drinks at Captain Tony's before a walk back to the house. Collapsed exhausted at about 10:30 (been up since 4:00 AM)

).


Wake in the AM after a great nights rest and find a local gym (Island Gym on White and Catherine. Very quick walk from the house). The gym is small but packs a lot into it's space and Sam at the desk is friendly and helpful. Break ourselves for an hour and a half. Back to the house for a quick outdoor shower and then sun by the pool.



SIX MORE DAYS LEFT!!
