day two in key west.
FROM SCOTT:
before dawn, there was a tremendous light show out over the ocean. lightning strikes every 5-10 seconds. huge thunderclouds illuminated by the lightning. beautiful. the day dawned with a cruise ship parked in our front yard and another one just down the road. they're even bigger close up. it was interesting watching them leave in the late morning, casting off their lines, then turning sharply to get out of this smallish area between islands. don't know where they were headed. today we learned a lot about the island's history (lots of cigar rolling) and some of the folks who have enjoyed it (hemingway, jose marti, frost, calvin klein (?) jimmy buffet, mother teresa (ok, maybe not her). spent some time in the morning at one of the beaches, then touring the island, then shopping (it's an olivia thing; she shopped while i sweated. it was really humid today, even though the thunderstorm off in the distance overnight was gone), refreshmenting (we found the starbucks), then dinner at the hard rock. liv still has a smile on her face. liv found an island she wants us to buy. it has a beautiful beach. holler if you want to contribute to the island fund. i think the asking price was only about $7 million.
FROM OLIVIA:
