Sugarloaf Key: The wind howled all night last night. Mike brought the awning in this morning before it got damaged. Needless to say, we stayed inside most of the day. Early afternoon we drove into Old Town Key West and went to the Tropic Cinema on Eaton just off Duval. Saw “No Country for Old Men”. As a friend put it, it was like Fargo on steroids. There was a lot of traffic going and coming. Must be a lot of vacationers here yet. Tonight is supposed to be the coldest night down in the Keys for several years. Supposed to be back in the upper 70s by Friday tho. On the walk back to the truck we found a bookstore on the corner of Simonton and Eaton and stopped in to see if they had the book “Matecumbe” which was written by Michener back in the 70s and just found. They didn’t have that one, but we bought a couple of books by a local writer. Stories take place down here in the Keys.
