Key West Dairy 7

Sunday, the 25th of January, we had planned on working on the boat again, cleaning and polishing it inside and out. BUT, since we found out yesterday that the marina is letting us stay through February 16 and probably the 28th, we decided to have another play day!

So we headed to downtown for Key West's annual craft and artist show. Hundreds of booths lined up along Caroline and Whitehead street displayed some beautiful and creative artwork.


I never pass up a beautiful and interesting  Banyan tree.


We thought we were in New Orleans when we saw and heard the band strike up and start marching down Duvall street. Here comes the funeral parade, complete with people throwing Mardi Gras type beads. We didn't know the man who died, but we joined in the March and celebration him anyway!


The crowd grew larger the further down Duvall street it progressed.



This is the lead element with the tuba and the trumpets.


After a little lunch we decided to take in a movie at one of the two movie theaters in Key West, the Tropic theater. This is a tiny theater that had four screens but only about fifty seats per screen. It is "quaint" but nice and the movie SELMA was outstanding.


The very life like statue of Marilyn Monroe outside the theater entrance.


Back on the sundeck as the day ends reading the WSJ and enjoying another gorgeous sunset in paradise. It does not get any better than this.
