CRUISE, DAY FOUR - Dec. 2, 2004 - KEY WEST, FLORIDA.

  A very picturesque Key West seen from our ship before
  we were allowed to disembark. I like the big red house.
  I want a big red house.

  Josh eating breakfast. Just because.

  I do not remember taking this picture.

  Oh, now I remember. We were killing
  time by taking pictures around the
  ship for posterity.  This would be
  the big central... um... Centrum, I
  believe it's called.  Like a big,
  multi-story lobby.  With shopping.

  The main performance lounge. Really kind of pretty.

  The obligatory photo of your Trip-o-logue host and that
  other guy.

  The obligatory photo of a famous establishment.  No, we 
  didn't actually go in.

  The obligatory photo of another famous establishment
  (Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville). Yes, we did eat here,
  because you have to have the Cheeseburger in Paradise.

  And a margarita.
  

  Hibiscus vibrantus. Or something less
  made up (the hibiscus part is accurate,
  at least).  On the edge of the Hemingway
  property. 

  Um, um, um... we'll just call this one "purty flower in
  random person's front yard."

  All we did in Key West was walk, and this is pretty
  typical of where we did that -- once we got off the 
  main drag and onto the very green, narrow, balconied
  residential streets. 

  In the Key West Cemetery. Wow, and that's my birthday.
  Like, exactly. (No, I won't tell you which date.)

  It seems there are a lot of "famous" things associated
  with Key West, because here's yet another:  The daily sunset
  celebration at Mallory Square -- which, except for the very
  beginnings, we witnessed from afar and ahigh on the ship. 

  Our waiter, Adrian.  (You have the same waiter every night,
  who you chat with when he isn't busy, so you actually get
  to know each other a bit.)

  Our dinner buddies, the only other couple who was there
  every night. Sure wish I could remember their names now,
  but that bit of info is apparently gone.  (If I had done 
  this in a timely fashion I wouldn't be having this problem.
  D'oh.)

  Our final towel animal of the cruise. And, obviously, 
  the coolest.

  Our cabin hallway.  It looked kind of 
  wacky with everyone's luggage sitting 
  outside their doors on the last night 
  to be picked up for... checkage, we'll 
  call it.
