December in Key West is delightfully different this year. We have yet to get a "bad" day, weather wise. And the past week has been nearly perfect, with temps in the high 70s and a light breeze. The week ahead is more of the same. No complaining from this household.
Not much to relate about our stay here, really. I am relaxing and Beau is waxing. Well, he finished waxing Harvey today. The RV looks great -- blindingly shiny.
We are now busy contemplating our navels...and other important things. For instance, every day we mull over the key question: What to do with our lives? Keep traveling? Settle down? Such stress.
Some photos from our first two weeks here in Key West:

| As I said, Beau waxes... |

(Note the "CRAP" label on Beau's T shirt, below his left shoulder. After he ruined one nice new T shirt after another after another, I threw a hissy fit. Our solution: Designate ruined shirts as CRAP and make sure he wears them while doing all his dirty jobs. People do look at him funny, but the CRAP system is saving our marriage.)

| Love the conch weather report. | |

| A fisherman attracts a flock of pelicans. Took this photo through the windshield of the RV. |
 |
| An elegant egret posed for me. |
 |
| This small hawk visited our site. Have no idea what he is. A larger hawk (a redtail) has been flying reconnaissance over the RV, hungrily eyeing little Buddy. He actually buzzed us one day, swooping through our site just a few feet off the ground. We have to be watchful. |
 |
| Ah yes, Key West. |
 |
| A sweet little Key Deer on Big Pine Key. |
 |
| We found a marina near us that was mostly liveaboards. Like a floating rundown trailer park. Yuck. Tough to see the environs from this shot, but the place was pretty nasty. |
Thought I would throw in this image of Marilyn outside a movie theatre downtown. I guess you could classify this as an oddity, albeit an attractive one for a lot of people.
Finally, here is Harvey, shiny and ready for the holidays:
Tanks, Panky
