Key West and back...

It's 6am on May 31st in St. Petersburg, FL. We are in the car on our way to Ft. Myers Beach to board the Key West Express. We are part of the live broadcast 97x is doing at Hog's Breath Saloon in Key West. Why not? We board the Express for a 3 1/2 hour journey. Wow, nice! There is a full bar, the food is pretty good, movies being shown and a top deck to enjoy the ride. We spent most of our time on the top deck in the wind and sun. My husband and I prefer the outdoors. We get into Key West around 12:30 and head over to Hog's Breath. As many times as I've been to Key West, I 've never been here. Always thought it wouldn't be my scene. I was pleasently surprised. Good food - Good Music - Good People = Great Time! The entertainment was fantastic. The unbelievably talented Raven was singing and Badda Skat from 97x joined her on stage for several songs. We picked up her CD and now it's a staple in our iPod. After the broadcast we had an hour to kill before re-boarding the Express so we showed Husky John and Badda around a little.

One of the things about Key West I love is the attitude that resides there. So open and laid back. Anything goes. I love the cats and dogs and roosters that seem to be everywhere. I've taken a couple of local pup shots below. We passed a fisherman who had just come in with some fresh Dolphin (not the porpoise!). He was getting it ready for the local restaurants.

It was hot! But what a great day. We got back into Ft. Myers around 9:45 and back home after midnight. A whirlwind of a day, the way I like it!


Hogs Breath!

I couldn't resist this Japanese Akita. Her name is Keeta. What a gorgeous girl!

And this is Raven with her mom and again with Shark and Badda of 97x! What a voice!
