Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Really nice this morning.  No wind again.  We decided to take the bikes out after lunch.  In the meantime, I got on the computer to go over my credit card bill and take care of a few other things.  Before I knew it, it’s after 12:00.  And it had clouded up and gotten chilly.  So we decided at the last minute to head to Key West and see “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” which is playing at the Tropic.  I can’t begin to describe how bad this movie was.  It took place in dismal sections of Paris, Istanbul, and London.  In apartments/homes that were dark, dank and dirty.  And the plot was so disjointed and convoluted that we never did quite know what was going on.  It basically put us both in a stupor.  We had a hard time staying awake.  Couldn’t wait until it was over.  Stepped out of the theater into a bright, sunny afternoon.  Took our time walking back to our parking spot.  There were three huge yachts docked over by the Eco Center.  Probably here for race week. 75 today.


Look at this beautiful tree with the big pink flowers.

Approaching the Truman Annex, we noticed these man-hole covers, which must be really old since they are imprinted with "U S N".  The Navy base was started around 1847 to fight pirates.  This cover is probably from  the WWI era.
