White Picket Fences

So many topics to cover here in Key West.  We went downtown this afternoon and toured Hemingway's home and found two restaurants we had read about - Blue Heaven and Bliss.  Both are on Petronia Street.  Blue Heaven is famous for its atmosphere and brunch.  Bliss looks like a great fish spot.

As we walk, we notice so many white fences with fanciful designs.  There are also many plain picket fences.  I like the visual unity of the fences.

Pineapple


Conch Shells



This octopus is cut out lower on the conch shell fence.

What is this?  A keyhole design?

As you can tell, we are charmed by Key West.  Another fun thing happening here is that Aunt Aggie is the first boat on our dock, closest to the walkway.  You know how in restaurants they always park the Mercedes out front and hide our Honda?  Well, for some reason Aunt Aggie is in slip C2.  We have people walking by all day.  When we are outside, they say hello and chat.  They ask if we are from Atlanta since they see that on the stern.  We have met people from Charlotte and several who have an Atlanta connection.  A positive for our town is that several sons and daughters of boaters are living there.  We seem to be attracting young people.  Happy Monday!
