Bed races!

What does this have to do with the Dry Tortugas? Actually, nothing. But we're now in Key West, it's during the Conch Republic Independence Celebration, and as you know, Key West has a reputation for being - well, weird. We got here early afternoon, heard about the races, and went looking for them. It's advertised as "the most fun you can have in bed with your clothes on" - use your imagination. We got there a bit late for the actual race, but got to see the beds and racers. Anybody want to enter next year?

Back again!

It's been a while (about a year and a half) since our last post, when we left the park at the end of September, 2009. Now we're going back again. We'll be there the month of May, 2011. It will be interesting to see what has changed and what is different. We know there have been some personnel changes, and also that only 1 ferry is running now. (There were two last time.) This is supposed to be the time of year for bird migration and nesting, so we'll probably see lots more birds. Stay tuned!
