My favorite Mark Twain quote, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." I like to think it true for me at least. Again, David should write a blog.....Eating my way around America!! I loved the last sailing ship at sunset picture.

You'll be able to write the definitive guide to Key West with all of the time you're spending there and the cool things you're discovering. I'm so sorry that we missed the Drag Queen exhibit -- but we're still planning to go to the museum for the other offerings. I'm especially interested in the folk art, and even more so after seeing your photos. Your photo of the schooner at sunset is gorgeous!

David, nice write up on the Ingham, glad you enjoyed the tour. It's a well done museum. Nice picture of the hat, too! I feel like a celebrity now! :cD<br /><br />PS: Did the mermaid say how she keeps her ukulele in tune when she swims with it?

I think Sherry's visit was something I would have liked because it's so different.

We haven't been to any of the places you visited today. Just goes to show, there is a lot to see and do in KW. We tried to go to find time to go to a drag queen show last year, but never quite made it. We have seen quite a few "Queens" around town. They certainly are interesting and colorful. We were in the Keys one year for New Years, but didn't make it down to KW. Now that we are closer to KW, one of these years, we'll probably fight the crowds and spend New Years Eve in Key West. Glad to hear you will be in the Keys through Christmas. Will Carrie and Matthew be coming for a visit? I would think they'd love to spend Christmas in the Keys. Love the sunset pictures. It made me remember how special Mallory Square is at sunset. Enjoy it, without all the crowds.

He must have a hollow leg. The What a Drag display seems informative. I went to a Gay Pride parade in Portland many years ago and was impressed by the beauty of some of the guys in drag. Besides, I like to dress up in costumes and would love to add some of those old lacy tops and skirts to my wardrobe even if I don't know where I'd wear them. Those Sanchez pieces just jump out of the frame. The ship's list of accomplishments is probably longer than some of the men who served on her. Those guys lived in tighter quarters than we do in RVs. I can't imagine either juggling or riding a unicycle let alone together. What a show. OMWow! That shot of the schooner at sunset is Spectacular!
