Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Drove to the Publix in Key West this morning to pick up a turkey breast for our New Years dinner.  I also checked out some new faux wood blinds for the RV.  Around 3:30 we headed back to Key West to the San Carlos Theater for a concert--it was actually more of a jam session.  Had dinner at Mangoes on Duval and then we headed to the San Carlos.  Picked up our tickets and got our seats.  The show started at 7:00.  John and his wife sat with us.  The show was excellent.  This small, intimate little theater was perfect for this venue.  The performers included James Slater, song writer, singer, and piano player; husband and wife duo,Joey and Rory, country song writers and singers extraordinaire; and of course Howard Livingston—just Howard and his guitar, no band.  After the show we walked down to the Smokin’ Tuna where Howard and the rest of the performers were headed.  Had one drink and left.  Mike still not feeling great.  Fun night.  82 today.


The beautiful, historic San Carlos Theater


This historic building used to be a school.  It was built by the Cuban government and they taught in both Spanish and English.  It was one of the first bi-lingual integrated schools in the country.


A great line from one of James Slater's songs--there is no town drunk in Key West.  We all take turns!  That about sums it up.
