Leftover pictures from Jay

here are some pics from Jays camera he just emailed me

Last day pics

the hot tub finally worked on the last night at the house, no refunds were offered this morning when i turned the keys in... they said it was 'circumstances beyond their control" well.... we shall see when they have their rentals firebombed mysteriously by a band of hired midgets.... and we will send them an anonymous letter saying it was due to "circumstances beyond OUR control".

One regret from this trip: not having two houses.... it was a lot better having a quiet haven to run to... also not having more time to spend with the relatives.... so next year me and Jen are going to get a condo for us, and anyone else that wants to come can set up a 'party house' for themselves. you live and you learn.

The beach was amazing, the waves were getting crazy yesterday, just in time for some body surfing and rip-tide-ish surf.

We gave up on the alligator search and instead ate some alligator bites at the Daquiri Deck.

I hope everyone found what they were looking for when they decided to join us on this trip, some got more than they bargained for, others got less. But we are all going home happy and tired and ready for work again.

More pics still coming as we make the trek home....

Almost the last night

our trip is winding down.... we saw some dolphins today out near the drawbridge, on the way to get rental cars for some of the guests... still crappy phone service too, but who needs phones at the beach anyway? lots of houses being built or upgraded here on the Key. Looked for alligators again last night at 2am, nothing but some flying fish.

two more pics

Went to the beach again today, a lot hotter than yesterday... relaxed a bit on the couch... big dinner tonight at Siesta Oyster Bar.... we thought we found an alligator last night but it turned to be a floating evil destructive, terrible, pepsi bottle..... After a half hour of gasping at the horrible creature, we realized that we were mistaken and it was probably some local using it as a bobber to catch fish, or tourists in our case.

More pictures

neighbors complained some of us were up til sunrise making noise out back, setting bait for alligators, you know the normal tourist thing....
heres some pics, me and jen on the beach, jay on the beach, and verdell....

we also have acquired a super water balloon launcher.... i wont say any more....

New pictures from May 14th - Manatee!

A manatee visited us, it floated up to the dock and started eating the bushes dangling in the water. The rain came last night around 1am. It hasn't let up yet, so I think we are going to see a matinee at AMC theaters over on Beneva.... Right now I'm using free wifi at The Speakeasy right across from the beach as the storm rolls on. Cell phones didn't work yesterday at all, it said 'Network Busy', the locals claim this happens all the time, there is even rumours of a 'weekly security check' on landlines down here. A Strange place in strange times. And hurricane season is upon us.

Oh yeah, I cooked some delicious mushroom eggs and swiss cheese this morning, that picture was from that.

tapping in

well im tapping into a free wifi spot on thekey from my
laptop... the battery is dying... another crazy day here..
Andrew broke the pool net today trying to save the frisbee
from the trees surrounding the canal... pictures will be
put up tomorrow... its getting hot and sticky.

Pics from the first two days

The place is amazing, no rooftop pool like we thought though.... but oh well, we have alligators in the canal lagoon behind our place so that makes up for it. And sweet sweet fruit rats and fruit rat traps blanketing the perimeter so were fine. Verdell is keeping us safe by guarding us from the little patio lizards.
