Guess Where I Was

No?

How about now?

Really?

Now?

Come on!!

Okay, I'm giving it to you.

Was lucky enough to finally get to Key West last month.  Drove down with a pal and had a great time.

Pretty funky little place.

 

But they never fail to remind you that you're at the southern most point in the U.S.

Never fail.

There is a lot of "Mine's bigger than yours" going on.

Okay, got it!

And, of course, we are both big Jimmy Buffett fans, so lots of  references to his songs seen here.

"Went down to Captain Tony's, to get out of the heat."

Of course, home of his original Margaritaville bar, on Duval St.  And his famous song.

And we are drinking.....?  Anybody, anybody, Bueller?

Lemonades.

Whew, that's good lemonade!

This is the Blue Heaven restaurant.

Purportedly the restaurant behind the song "Blue Heaven Rendezvous".  [Ed. Note: enough with the song  references already. We got it.]

Okay. This "tree" is actually a giant, hanging vine from a huge Banyan tree, somewhere else in the restaurant.  It has dropped down and wrapped itself around the safe and isn't going anywhere.

And something else that isn't going anywhere is you, if you get caught by this High Speed Vessel (HSV) that is used to nab drug smugglers coming across from the Caribbean and South America.  It is a Catamaran vessel, with top speed of 45 knots.

I'm guessing that wouldn't be a good feeling, seeing that behemoth bearing down on you as you're sitting on a kilo of coke.  Be a good song, but not a good feeling.

But man, even though it was only early May, that far south it was stinking hot.  All the time.

So I might just head on down to Captain Tony's.  You know why......
