Well, I seem to be quite the slacker girl lately. No blog entries for, what, close to three weeks? I know that my legions of adoring fans are breathless with anticipation, so here we go. I'll even break it up into separate posts to spare you reading fatigue as you navigate through!
Our trip earlier this month to Key West was great, though like most vacations it felt way too short. I wish we could have found a better place to stay...we were going to spring for a hotel this time, instead of staying at the cheap-but-dodgy youth hostel, but there was an airshow going on that weekend, so all the places we found were booked or had been jacked up to horrendous rates! Oh well. Not like we really spent any time there at all except to sleep. Anyway, overall it was a great vacation. We had breakfast at the french bakery every morning, hit the beach each afternoon, and travelled everywhere by bicycle. For once, the weather was perfect-warm but not hot, and low humidity--which meant we both had a lot more energy than usual. We usually hit a couple of attractions each time we're there--this time, we went to the Lighthouse and Keeper's Quarter's Museum, the Shipwreck Historium, and the East Martello Tower garden. It was interesting to learn a little bit more of the history of Key West as a place that grew rich on salvaging offshore wrecks. I also took some henna paste with us, so we could practice on the beach. I'll post some pictures later.
Of course, I it took so long for me to totally decompress, relax, and leave all the day to day stuff behind that by the time I started to feel human again, it was time to turn around and come back! So the week or so afterwards Darcy was pretty grumpy...
More later.
