You'll recall that we've been able to take advantage of the great offers by several Key West museums (and conch train) to get in free on
Local's Day - the 1st Sunday of every month.
The Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden decided to get into the action for the first time and we, of course, jumped at the opportunity.
I might have questioned the "tropical forest" aspect of it, but it's been really humid here lately. Even the long-timers have been complaining about it - it
has been like living in a rain forest. Fog rolled in the other night (again), was gone by the time I went running early the next morning, but rolled back in again around 8
am and stayed around for hours, wreaking havoc with boaters. Strange.
As we left our apartment this morning, we noticed our own pine forest and neighborhood mammal (Calvin).
Once at the Gardens (on Stock Island), we barely left the parking lot before we saw turtles and lizards/iguanas.
Among other things, I'm a blogger. My last one was Island Babble about our life in the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. We (me, my husband and our two kitties) moved to Key West in September 2012 and figured we'd embarrass ourselves some more by posting our antics in a new blog.
Any of you sailors, wanna-be-sailors, or dreamers out there might be interested in A Sail of Two Idiots, a fun and informational book about our sailing adventures prior to landing in St. Kitts. It's available in all major brick & mortar stores around the world as well as from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and their associated e-books.
