We are having such a wonderful time, we just wish you were here! I know this is the corniest line you have ever seen on a postcard, but its so true, and I had so much to tell you, that a postcard just doesn't have the space to write it, so I'm sitting here on a beach towel, underneath the palms here on the beach, in Key West, Florida, yep, soaking up the rays, and writing you a letter of the things we're doing on our vacation.
Once we got checked into our resort, we immediately went off to explore the island! So much to see! Lets see where do I begin! We of course wandered down Duval Street, did a little souvenir shopping, checked out the famous bars; Sloppy Joe's, Margaritaville, Pat Croce's Rum Barrel, Captain Tony's, ate some fantastic food at Pier House Resort's Harborview Cafe while watching the sail boats start out for sunset celebration. Speaking of such, we ventured over to Mallory Square for the daily festivies and saw some of the most creative street performers we have ever seen. Did I mention "Cat Man"? How on earth did he train those cats to do those tricks? I can't even get mine to come when I call, all it does is just look at me and meow! It was an amazing sunset, so beautiful, and I can't wait to do it all again tomorrow! They say down here every sunset is different, so we definitely have something to look forward to! Lets see tomorrow, think we'll go fishing or snorkeling, as there are so many of the fishing charters and catamarans that offer trips on a daily basis! All we have to do is show up! They provide everything we need, and some of them even supply lunch, and drinks! and for the evening, might even catch one of those schooners and do the romantic sunset sail! Everything is so reasonably priced!
While we are here we are definitely taking in some of these tours they have on the island, and we want to visit the museums, like Mel Fisher's Museum, where you can hold a Gold Bar, and see the other treasures he discovered on the Atocha. We want to go to Hemingway's House, I've got to see those six-toed cats! We've even thought about going to the Lighthouse Museum which is across the street from Hemingway's House. Shall we venture up? Heard it was 88 steps up and 88 steps down, but the view is spectacular! We want to go to the Southernmost House Museum, which is also a guest house. We want to also do the tour from the Old Town Trolley, and learn more about the island. Oh yes, and we want to go to the Key West Butterfly Conservatory over on Duval Street. We heard there was a Historium too, the Ship Wreckers Historium, this is full of the history of the salvaging in Key West where they would yell a hardy "Wreck Ashore!," to bring in the goods, and supplies! We also planning to venture over to Fort Jefferson National Park, the Dry Tortuga's as a day trip.
Looking around at my surroundings here on this beautiful beach, its almost like a dream, its so relaxing, a perfect place to unwind. A warm breeze is helping us to unwind from any daily stresses we may have brought with us! We are noticing others on the beach who are like us soaking up the rays, but we noticed something a little further down the beach, we have never seen before, we are witnessing a wedding on the beach, what an excellent idea! A storybook wedding right here on the beach, we saw the groom and his friends and family walk barefooted down to the waters edge, watched the bride who is dressed in a perfect beach wedding dress, yes, barefooted too, be escorted down to the groom, everyone gathers close, listens and waits for the kiss to seal the union! What a happy occasion to see, so many hugs and congratulations, we see the photographer and a videographer capturing the emotion of this day. We will never forget this moment of our trip, this has truly made this vacation more memorable! I wonder where they will celebrate? Perhaps one of those really nice restaurants like A&B Lobster House, or maybe Michael's, or Louie's Backyard, or maybe even the Commodore Restaurant!, and for desert? Key Lime Pie!
Well, it looks like its time for me to roll over, and work on my tan on the other side, and drift off in a dream about where I am in paradise. I'll get this sent off in the mail to you today along with some pictures, because, you have just got to see of this wonderful place called paradise. See you soon!
