While transferring our pictures from the camera to the computer, I inadvertently deleted pretty much all of them. Pictures deleted include:
- Touring the Harry S. Truman Little White House
- Touring the Hemingway House (along with all the 6-toed cats)
- Snorkeling (those who have been with me when I've tried snorkeling before know that proof is needed)
- Kayaking at night, wearing headlamps, holding sea cucumbers and urchins
- Kevin in shackles at the Pirate Museum
- An amazing strawberry shortcake that we saw at a cute little restaurant
- Us standing a mere 90 miles from Cuba at the "Southernmost Point."
- And I'm sure many more.
So if anyone knows how to retrieve deleted pictures from the memory card of a camera, please send that information our way immediately! I am really, really upset. Those headlamp pictures were pretty great. I guess I'll just whip up a key lime pie and devour it in one sitting to make myself feel better. It is Tuesday after all, and that's normally what I do on Tuesdays.
Anyway, below is Kevin in the Miami airport (all of those crazy designs are actually fish) and me standing by our pool. I can't believe I messed this up so badly. No matter what, it was a great time and I think Key West is a quaint and lovely place. Tips for those of you going that direction soon:
- Do not rent a car. Stay off Duvall Street somewhere in the middle. We stayed in the Merlin Guesthouse on Simonton and Petronia and loved it.
- Do not expect there to be any hoopla around the signs that indicate the beginning/terminus of Highway 1. Mainly it's just some cars at a stop light.
- Expect to see (and hear) A LOT of free-roaming chickens.
- Expect to see a lot of beautiful women...and if the woman is especially beautiful it's likely she's in drag. We saw many beautiful drag ladies.
- Definitely do the sunset/nighttime kayak trip. But consider the strength of your marriage if you elect to use a tandem kayak with your spouse.
- Eat pie at each Blonde Giraffe location.
- Use Big Al's taxi service from the airport. This could be tough because the service is only Big Al, so you might not get him. He told us a lot about the island and gave us a list of good restaurants.
- Don't expect to eat grouper. I couldn't find a grouper sandwich for anything.
- Consider the Ghost Tour where you learn about Robert the Doll. Oh boy. Scary stuff.
So that's it...great trip, wish we had proof that we went. And that for about 15 minutes I had a little bit of a tan. Roar.

Aww! I'm so glad you guys had a good time. I'm sorry about the pictures - I can't wait to visit. How was that Key Lime Pie, btw?
I'm so sorry about the pictures. Hopefully you are able to recover them! The kayaking sounds wonderful! It sounds like something Paul and I would do. We'll have to try that when/if we go to Key West. The food also sounds amazing! I'm hungry already! Your trip sounds like a wonderful vacation! Ah, to have a tan for even 15 minutes sounds wonderful in February!
I will have to ask Chad about saving your pictures... not sure if there's hope there, but at least you have the wonderful memory of the trip to savor for a long time. Glad you enjoyed it! And why you couldn't find a Grouper Sandwich is beyond me. At least there was the pie... mmmm!
Love ya!
Here's what I got right now:

You can find out how many photos it can save before having to pay for it - might be worth it. Sorry I couldn't do more!
