Getting About in Key West

Whether you arrive by cruise ship, jet or car or whether you live on Key West, getting around is fun.  


For the tourist in us all the Conch Train was a great way to get about.
Hearing the history and seeing all the important places was primary on our list.
Brian was our guide.  If you go, be sure and stop and say hi for me.



One thing we noticed many people decorated their vehicles.  It's not surprising as there are many artists who reside in Key West.


I barely caught this photo as we drove by on the Conch Train.  It is just like the special little sculpture we have at home.

It was just missing a spare tire and the little black Labrador in the bed of the truck, like our black Lab, Gracie.  

Boy...this one is perfect for zooming about.


And...no.  This wasn't parked...it was on display!


This was also on display...but in someones front yard. I'm not judging. 


I had to include this little gem further up in the line of keys.  


Many of the cruise ship tourists rented scooters and so you saw a ton of these speeding about.
I should add a few puffs of smoke behind it!  I had room.  They all drive too fast.

But everywhere you saw bicycles.  Almost as many as cars.  The island is so small you could cycle around it in an hour or so.  

And last but not least...the flamingo pink taxi that I blogged about earlier.  So fun!

I am a Florida girl although I have not lived here all my life.. born in Tampa, lived in Miami off and on throughout my life.. now back in Clearwater and going down to the keys is a yearly drive... it's fun in the PM.. I did arrive by cruise ship, that was boring...because they always get there in the AM when almost everyone is sleeping or closed.. but It is beautiful down there and I just love the Roosters and Chickens that roam the streets... so glad you enjoyed your time there..

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one ...

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

Image
When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside ...
