Postcard From Key West Part 1: Rain Delay

An afternoon thunderstorm has forced us inside for now making this the perfect time for a blog post! Yesterday we went down to Fort Zachary Taylor, a Civil War-era Fort, and site of supposedly the most beautiful beach in Key West. See for yourself:


Question: Does it get any better than this?


Answer: Of course not.


I tried to get rid of some of the pale but only managed to give myself an oddly shaped sunburn. Serves me right. After bemoaning the fact that I didn't bring my suit and making James promise we would return for a swim later in the week, we grabbed some lunch from Garbo's Grill, a little food truck serving uber-fresh local fare like gulf shrimp mahi mahi along with the classic hotdogs and burgers. 


I went for the fish tacos, while James tried the fish burrito. They were as good to eat as they are to look at.


Roosters and chickens are all over the island--in the street, in your backyard, outside your window (ahem)--and Garbo's was no exception. We saw this guy who must have lost his comb in a cock fight.


Welp, it looks like the storm is passing and just in time for happy hour! More later!
