Toes in December Sand

On day 2 in Key West, we found ourselves on the beach with our toes in warm December sand. We arrived on a nearly empty state park beach around 10 a.m. When we questioned the chair rental man about the lack of other beach goers, he explained, "It's early in Key West." The beach was beautiful and eventually we were joined by the late risers.
After the beach, we went to Margaritaville. I've never been to a Margaritaville that did not have an hour or more wait, but this one had immediate seating. We sat in front of a cheerfully decorated Christmas tree with a parrot at the top. We overheard the waitress tell another table that Jimmy had been there yesterday, but we also read that telling tourists that is a popular pastime of the locals.
We spent another evening watching the sunset at Mallory Square.
David's friend Keith brought us some Key West magazines and information from his recent trip. We read an article about the Cat Man and had to see him for ourselves. It was a fantastic show! The Cat Man has trained his cats by becoming one of them. It is definitely a must-see if you find yourself in Key West. Don't miss the Cat Man's website: http://www.catmankeywest.com/.
