Feeling Let Down after Company Leaves.

This morning Trisha, Caronell and Judy left.  I feel tired and sad, missing them.  They were terrific guests - fun and energetic and considerate. We did a lot of walking around Key West and explored the city well.  They had a list from USA Today of top 10 shopping spots.  It was fun to find those.  We also had a few shopping goals, which gave us a purpose for the walking.  We visited two beaches, which were quite different from each other:  Smathers was sandy and traditional, whereas the beach at Ft. Zachary Taylor was rocky and had shady woods nearby.  We ate conch fritters and snapper and crab soup.  Every meal was pleasing.  We also listened to music together.  Judy introduced us to her favorite song by the Zac Brown Band.  Yesterday we found the lyrics on the wall of our lunch spot, a good sign.

Lots of other signs were also posted.  This is my favorite.

We admired blooming plants and trees on our tour.  

This plant is ubiquitous and comes in several colors.  What is it?  

We have a few days alone now.  Today is sunny.  A good day to rest and do laundry and call friends.
