Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  This morning we headed to Key West for breakfast at Blue Heaven.  Mike dropped me off and then went to find a place to park.  I put our name in and was told a 50 minute wait.  Waited and waited for Mike to show up.  He finally did and had to park at the Eco Center which wasn’t a bad walk at all.  We decided to go to Azur instead since Blue Heaven was slammed.  Had a great breakfast washed down with a couple of mimosas and then parked by the KW cemetery and explored around there.  Back home and Richard wanted to know if we were going to Finnegan’s Wake in KW tonight to see Fiona.  Not sure if we’ll go or not.

Key West Cemetery

The Key West cemetery was founded in 1847 after the original one was destroyed by a hurricane and reflects the cultural diversity that is Key West today.  There is a Catholic section, a Jewish section, the USS Maine plot, and a section for those who fought in the 1868 Cuban revolution.  In addition to these defined areas, interspersed throughout are African Americans, Cubans, and Americans--both rich and poor.

A little baby I guess.

This is where Captain Outrageous is interred.  Would have liked to have met him.

The USS Maine section

The oldest grave in the cemetery--that of James Johnson who died in 1828 at the age of 60.

An unknown from the USS Maine

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Another beautiful day today.  Went over to Esther and Gerald’s in the afternoon to practice our song, “Hallelujah” we’re supposed to sing at the party on the point on Sunday.  Went okay.  Gerald is quite good on the guitar.  Gerald suggested we order pizza for dinner, which we did.  Then played a Canadian card game with them.  Gerald and I won.  Home early tonight.

Not sure if this is a brigand or a sloop

While in KW we saw this guy walking this huge dog.  It's a bouvier des flandres.  She was really well behaved.
