Wed, Jan 17, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Headed to Key West today.  Figured it would be the only decent day for a while.  Went to see “The Post” at the Tropic.  Parked at the post office and walked to the Tropic to get our tickets and then walked around for a while before our show.  Our first foray to Old Town this year, and there is very little sign of hurricane damage.  After the movie we drove over to the Eco Center where we used to park to see what changes they’ve made.  They put in a new park and an amphitheater and planted lots of large palm trees.  I read somewhere that a royal palm goes for about $20,000!  I guess the tree growers are doing well.  There is still free parking available there, so in the future we can park and walk.  Truman Annex is still beautiful.  Supposed to get down into the 40s tonight!  Yikes!  70 today and mostly cloudy.

Marilyn is still there.

Tue, Jan 16, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Off to Key West early this morning for a doctor appointment.  Mike drove me.  On the drive up Hwy 1 we didn’t see any detritus from the hurricane at all.  After the doctor we drove to Big Pine, did the grocery shopping and picked up some scripts at Walgreens.  Turned out to be a beautiful day—albeit with a little chilly breeze. Took care of some other chores and then sat around reading for a while.  Put together a pot roast in the crock pot earlier, and it’s starting to smell pretty good in here. The dogs next door started barking, which is unusual.  Seems a pelican stopped by for a visit and they weren’t too happy about that.  Low 70s today and mostly sunny.
