After our whirlwind tour of Key West the past few days, we took life a little easier today.
Judy and I attended Church Services up in Winter Haven this morning. Weather today was second to none! Just perfect for doing whatever you want to do.
This afternoon I was over at Tom's site, and helped him install some new wheel trim pieces on his GMC 3500 Truck. These are nice chrome wheel well trim pieces that had to be screwed into place. Seemed like a real easy peasy type job, but you know how it goes! Turned into a couple hours and we only did the front wheels. Tom and his neighbour did the back wheels yesterday. All done now and it looks great! Just did not have a camera or iPhone with me, so you will have to picture it in your mind!
Typing this blog from back home in Frostproof tonight. We left Key West this morning at 8:30 and arrived at about 4:00 p.m. this afternoon. Beautiful drive in great weather. Mid 80's today so the A/C got a workout on the Jeep today.
Too busy enjoying Key West to get a blog together for last night...sometimes you just get too tired to do it at the end of the day!
So, on Friday morning, we went to a Rental Shop in North Key West, and rented 4 great bicycles. Debbie wanted to do this, and make the tour of the outer areas of Key West, so we did exactly that, driving the bicycles all the way around Key West. Took about 4 hours or so to complete, including a stop for a great lunch on the beach.
Key West has done a terrific job of building a bicycle route that you can follow around... some of it is still under construction, but it is coming. Above Judy is riding against the Atlantic Ocean on the East side of Key West. What a great day for a bike ride!
Gerard is watching Deb get some nature shots...
You get to see lots of this above...
Judy above is yelling at me for taking pictures with my iPhone while I biked... oooppsss...
Need I say more about the weather than above...
We found one of those round driveway mirrors, and this picture above was taken by me with my iPhone... you can see me doing it!
We enjoyed another great Italian Dinner at this Restaurant above, on the east side of Key West... after we decided to head down to the Docks to catch the Busker Shows! Key West is famous for these shows, that start at sunset each night and go for an hour or so... there are lots of them.
Yes this guy above, trained his cats to jump through rings of fire... he had a good show, and apparently has been doing shows for the past 24 years!
This guy above had a highwire, unicycle type of show...
Above, these two guys performed a great juggling type of show... they were great, and I took a few videos I will post here of their act. They had a real large crowd watching the show. These are not long videos, less than 30 seconds each.
Don't try to do this stunt at home now Kiddies.... too dangerous! These guys were good.
The ladder above is free standing, only held by 4 ropes held by spectators... might not want to try this one either...
We had a blast in Key West for the past few days, with by far, the most favourite activity I enjoyed being the Snorkelling Tour at John Pennekamp State Park.
Deb and Gerard left us today, and are heading on a trip up the West Side of Florida, before they beat feet for Ontario in a few more days. Sure was great to spend some time with them, doing a bunch of activities over the past weeks.
Patra was happy to see us when we got home tonight... she was well taken care of by Cheryl while we were gone... got to enjoy happy hour with Cheryl and Tom after arriving home tonight.
We were out on the road by 10:00 a.m. this morning, heading south to Key West! Our next destination.
You simply cannot get any further south in the Continental U.S.A. I guess! What a terrific drive it is down from Key Largo to Key West!
You see lots of this above... helps when it is a terrific day weather wise outside!
That is one of the longest bridge spans heading south right behind Judy in the distance... 7 miles long.
This is what used to be running on these bridges many years ago!
We got set up in our RV Park, and took the bus this afternoon to visit Key West, about a 20 minute bus ride. This is a picture of the famous Duval Street of Key West, where all the action takes place...especially at night time!
We walked around a bit, and got a little thirsty, so had to stop for refreshments, Key West style...
We got to watch the Magesty of the Sea take off from Key West heading out to sea!
We stayed downtown for dinner, and enjoyed walking the docks on the west side of Key West. It was a real nice night out for walking around!
