goodbye paul...

and thanks for this

the best things in life are free

mel and I have been hunting a couch for some time now. haunting the thrift store and checking craigslist. no luck until now. this beauty is from the coffee and tea house on duval. once the hangout of many a pedicab driver, now it's moving accross the street. this was a real test of the extracycle. in fact, it was so sketchy that it barely counts. but it was on the curb, now it's in our living room. yay!

vendors

here are some vendors pedalling their wares to mallory square ~ where they sell their handmade goods every sunset.

johnson lane

key west is full of sweet little lanes where you will rarely meet a car.

can i borrow your bike to move?

a curbside score - a beautiful sofa bed that a bed and breakfast was finished with.
it had to be moved six blocks to its new home.
a truck to move a couch? truck shmuck.

tropical storm gustav

a little bit of gustav from the front porch

he brought some lobster
pots in with him.

gustav was like a
playful puppy.
these are kids on white
street pier running
after gustav's waves.

tropical storm force
winds aren't going to
keep these two off
the pedicab.

green parrot was still
serving brew.

the comforting glow of light
from the olivia street store.
we can always count on them.

the rain falling and blowing
on the white street pier.
