Key West Is Hot!

Yesterday Key West was too hot! I actually sat out the hottest part of the day in the hotel room. The sun blares. Evenings of course are magnificent. March is Key West's highest season so the streets and the beaches are packed. It is fun to see the nightlife easily visible as you walk by all the bars on Duval Street which have open windows. Happy patrons are dancing and whooping it up. We spent the day looking at historical houses in the quiet neighborhoods and talking to the residents. We befriended a young man who manages an art gallery. He lent us his very well-behaved parrot for a photo.
It was very interesting talking to so many different types of people in Key West. We spent a lot of time seeking out a very rare species, the conch i.e. someone who was born and bred in Key West. At last success! A very nice handsome man we met at a sandwich shop. His favorite meals are Fried Ribs and Fish with Grits. And yes, he shared his recipes plus his restaurant recommendations.
