Keys Lights

There are Highlights and there are Lowlights, and then there are Keys Lights.

We're gone from the Florida Keys, we finally are. But I miss them. I'm trying to let them go . . .

. . . after one last look.

We did it all. We hiked and walked . . .

. . . we endured a lot of rain . . .

We lived in our Westy and kept in touch with the peeps back home (that's me texting).

We made some new friends . . .

. . . who were very entertaining.

And we made equally entertaining other new friends who we double-Westy-camped with. In the pouring rain.

We made friends with lots of Key Deer too.

Awwww.

We lost our winter pallor . . .

. . . and we got Keys Toes (an old cut, a new cut, and lime pulp.)

And although we spent a lot of time at the beach . . .

. . . (there we go with the toes again . . . )

. . . an awful lot of time at the awesome Bahia Honda beach . . .

. . . we spent loads of time in our own personal, private Keys places too.

We took a quick trip to Key Westy West . . .

. . . where everything is happy and bright . . .

. . . and had 1 or 2 or 17 drinks.

No trip to Key West is complete without a trip to the Green Parrot . . .

. . . where we finally got to watch some curling.

As Smirk says, "No sniveling."

And no trip to Key West is complete without late-night biking down Duval either.

We cooked. We cooked with friends here . . .

. . . and we cooked with friends there.

There were contemplative moments . . .

. . . and silly moments . . .

. . . okay, you're right. There's nothing silly about comparing hair length.

We spent lots of happy moments, being in the moment, soaking up the beauty:

I miss the warmth and the sun and all that beauty . . .

We walked into the sunset . . .

. . . oh, there were lots of sunsets . . .

And then, finally, we said good night to our own little slice of Paradise.

.

Good bye, Keys.
