Dream Catchers Dream

We just got back from Key West yesterday then out for dinner with friends last night. I'm exhausted. But had a good time. Abby got boarded for the first time and that seems to have gone well. She was very happy to see us. I think she made new friends and of course they loved her because everyone loves our sweet girl.
We took the 2 hour bus ride to Key West which is only $1.50 for seniors. Then there is always the interesting crowd on the bus. We stopped at the local jail and a bunch of young guys got on. They looked a little rough and one had a large bottle of vodka in a backpack he was passing around. We got off before them thankfully. Then there was the smattering of mentally ill folks. My favorite. They are always so entertaining.
Dick was able to get a room with his Marriott points but we still managed to spend money. We saw the sunset from Mallory square. Lots of entertainment and people selling stuff. Very fun. We had eaten a late lunch at the Hurricane Hole on Stock Island, just over the bridge from Key West so we walked around and watched the early spring breakers. Had a little snack and drinks at Two Friends then more drinks at Sloppy Joes. The entertainment was interesting as the two guys singing tried their best to gross out the audience. But the audience was drunk so it didn't happen. Met some people at the next table who were from Minnesota. Told them about our trip and think they may have been inspired to think about doing the loop.
By this time it was past "looper midnight" so we headed back to our room. In the morning we literally flipped a coin about what to do and decided to go back down town to see some sights. We did not have time to do the tour of Harry Truman's "little white house" but did walk the grounds and looked around some. This was used by other presidents after Truman so has some recent history. There was a lot more historical things we could have seen but we were on a schedule to get back in time to pick up our Abby dog. We saw chickens and roosters running around the place but missed seeing any drag queens or other interesting night life.
There is a seafood festival here this weekend and we have signed up to work on Sunday. We have heard it's a lot of fun and you get free food. We are working the lobster tent.
More to come.
