Key West, Day 1 and ...

I love being in a place where you can watch dark clouds on one side of the island and sunlight on the other. It's day two and my plans for an early morning bike ride have gone awry - rain. No problem. I'll sit and enjoy my coffee and the early morning change of two weather systems. Clouds should be gone by 10 am.

Yesterday, Tricia and I rented our bikes for our two week stay. Heavy, clunky and a little grimy... well you get what you pay for. This is the cheapest we've ever paid and they are the most beat up. Tricia went off for a Thai massage and I dealt with groceries. That done and groceries put away I went off to look at some shops.  After 3 lovely places I found some things that I could fit. I have to LOSE weight. Fuck! Back to our home and then back out to the drug store for missing toiletries. Back to our home and then back out to meet Tricia for a nice lunch at 2 Cents. We hung out with our favourite bartender/manager for a bit. Got some advice on fish markets and liquor stores and off we went.

Tequila and scallops and Key West pink shrimp. We're eating in tonight. Our place actually has a BBQ! While Tricia napped I had a dip in the pool. I love private pools and secluded gardens. Bathing suit optional.

A couple of games of scrabble - I lost both games, a great dinner of scallop ceviche and grilled shrimp and then off to bed.

Which brings me to today. It's only 8 am and I've not done much. But the sun is out so maybe I will go for that ride.
