Day 18-20

It has now been six days since we've landed in the Keys.  Larry and I have settled into a "routine" of sorts.  We rise 'n shine somewhere between 7-8:00 a.m.; while he walks across US 1 to Walgreens to get the morning's papers, I'm busy making coffee and the bed.  We don't get in much of a rush around here--after all, we're on "island time".  The morning is filled with a long walk, some chores like grocery shopping, laundry, going to the fish market, etc.  By the time afternoons  roll around, we're fishing or soaking up some rays by the pool, going to the beaches for sand and surf, dining out for lunch or dinner and so on and so on!  This morning we headed to Big Pine Key, approximately 20-30 minutes, for the weekly Flea Market where we can pick up a few bargains. The drive south is so picturesque what with the aquamarine colors of the Atlantic on our left and the blue waters of the Gulf on our right! Tomorrow we have the local Key Colony community picnic of sorts and next week is the annual Marathon Seafood Festival.  Every so often there is some local activity to attend if we want.  Days and nights are quite laid-back, and to say the least, we're enjoying our vacation.
