A Day at the Beach

The weather in KW has been great since we got back. Some might think it is too hot but I really like it. It has been in the high 80's since we returned. Last Sunday it was in the 90's. So, we've been spending a lot of time on our bicycles and at the beach. In the morning (or maybe it was the afternoon?) we rode down to the beach at the end of Duval Street by the Southermost Point. I think it is called South Beach, though it's not at all like "the" South Beach in Miami. For one thing, it's about 1/100th the size! It was a beautiful day in KW and there were lots of people out enjoying the sunshine and catching some rays.

The jet skiers were ready to enjoy the great day, too!

After we left the beach, we gave our Trek Calypso bicycles a real workout and went for a long bike ride all around the island. During our ride, we passed the Key West Butterfly Conservatory. Livviebell would love it here. Beautiful colored butterflies of all kinds fly around freely inside and you can walk right up to them.

When we got back home, it was a beautiful evening so we decided to have our supper at the park. We've done this a few times since we got back and really enjoy it. So, we made a couple of sandwiches and headed off to Ft. Zachary Taylor on our bikes to have supper and watch the sunset.

Although we have an annual pass to Ft. Zachary and the beach, depending on who is on duty sometimes we have to stop and show the pass to the guard. The regular guard knows us now and usually just waves a through. Here is Neal on his bike waiting at the entrance for me to catch-up.......

We sat at a picnic table along the entrance to KW harbor and enjoyed our sandwiches and watched all the boats and the sunset.

It was a beautiful evening to watch the sunset.

There was a very light wind which made it a perfect night for a sunset sail. There were a lot of boats out on the water.

It was a great 'Day at the Beach" here in KW!
