Publisher's Synopsis
Key West, Florida, is the oyster within the pearl; the meat with the potatoes; the basics with all the frills; the real thing along with the pretensions. Humor abounds in Key West in innumerable forms. While reading this book you will find yourself being a part of this insanity within the sanity; this home for whatever your inklings might be. Here, one can be as laid-back and inconspicuous as a sleeping dog in the shade of a mango tree or as active as a nest of unsettled fire ants. The only way Key West might be problematic is if your desire is not to have fun. It's impossible not to do so.With rare exception, Key West lives up to its motto of "One Human Family" where the color of your skin, your religion (whether you have one or not), financial status, nationality, sexual preference(s), age, abilities or disabilities, become insignificant in this most tolerant of towns. Join in the fun and photos within these memoirs. Chill out with me at the Green Parrot Bar, or wander around Fort Jefferson, part of the Dry Tortugas National Park. Learn about dolphins. Get a feel for writing and painting in Florida Keys and ride along with the author in his 1969 VW Kombi. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy!
