Pirates In Paradise

Last Sunday afternoon Tom and I were sitting at Schooners having a beer after walking Dyna. It had been a long walk and all 3 of us were thirsty. Schooners is a outside dog friendly bar so it is easy to stop by, have a beer, Dyna gets water and we get to see friends. 

As we sat there the place became full of Pirates and Conch Republic Navy. Our friend Capt. Frank showed up and informed us that the week of Pirates was beginning. This get together at Schooners was the official turnover of Key West to the Pirates for the annual week of events. Here is the web if you would like to check it out. http://www.piratesinparadise.com. It has been entertaining to see Pirates around town all week and walking by the house. We had planned to attending the Sat & Sun events but weren't able to due to the weather. It has been rainy both days with the highs only getting to 70.  There have been only a few events we have missed so this one will be added to the list for next year. 

Yes we are cold! Tom sits here as I type all wrapped up in a blanket. We haven't turned the heat on yet but are learning to adapt to the weather when the temperature drops and and it's damp. As old desert dwellers it is a different kind of cold. 

The rest of the week brings Xmas events that I will bring you up to speed on at the end of the week.
