Siesta

I love a good gratuitous lighthouse shot

 

A little bit of rum punch, a little bit of trip and fall

And it started out a little something like this…

We started out at the hotel.  Then we walked to The Rum Bar at The Speakeasy Inn where we had a couple drinks and met some cool people.

While at The Rum Bar we were invited to go on a sunset cruise – it was a birthday party.  I love a good party and wanted to go but I knew that I would not make it that long.  Oh, if I only knew… (cue foreshadow music)

We left The Rum Bar and traveled down Duval and ended up at 801 Bourbon Bar.  It is a cabaret bar.  We hung with one of the performers, Ruben.  Ruben was fun.  Ruben and I were pals yesterday. Ruben and I sang a lot.  Ruben and I are now Facebook friends.

Hubs and I then made it up to Cowboy Bill's.  I did not take any pictures.  It was hot and I had too many drinks. Well,  I did not have THAT many but when you have breakfast at 9am and then you don’t put anything else in your stomach but alcohol?  Your body does not take it well.  This I know from experience.

We left Cowboy Bill’s and I asked to take a cab.  Hubs didn’t want to.  We weren’t too far from the hotel.  We should have taken a cab. 

We got less than a block from our hotel and my legs had had enough.  So did my feet. So did my knees. I tripped and it was all over. 

I also have a brush burn on my butt.  It hurts.  Not more than my pride.

Ahhhh, this is the life

Sigh…I’m on vacation

In honor of my Key West getaway, I went through some photos of our last visit to the Keys and decided to post them.   

I was obsessed with this lighthouse.  I think I took about 20 photos of it while we were there.  I’m normally not a big lighthouse fan.  The simplicity of this one struck me.

I love the colors of the sky during the sunset. 

I love this man.  This is the hubs. 

This is probably my favorite restaurant in the world.  I love Cuban food and I love El Meson de Pepe.  You have got to go there if you’re in Key West.  Eat outside with the chickens!

Douglas was our captain for the sunset cruise.  He was hilarious.  I caught him in a quiet moment.  I wonder how Douglas is.

 

I hope to get many more great photos on this trip. 

Will the real DaisyPantalones please stand up?

So, I wanted to take an outdoor picture today and it rained and the only things that I wanted to photograph were outside and there were cars behind me and it’s dangerous to take pictures while your driving… You’re getting a picture that I’ve taken of my precious pup.  She is adorable but she is very itchy right now and not in the mood to have her picture taken.  These pictures are oldies but goodies. 

 

Daisy adopted hubs and I in June of 2004.  Since then, she has been the light of my life.  I wish I could have a whole house full of her… sometimes it feels like I do.  She give me hugs every day when I come home from work.  I couldn’t see my life without her happiness.  She reminds me  to be joyful, every day.
