We arrived safely in Key West yesterday at 11:15 am. In keeping a promise to the husband, I stayed off the computer and office email all day, although I went through over 100 office emails this morning. We lazed around the pool at the Equator and reconnected with guys we see here each year this same weekend. As always, we enjoyed the cocktail hour at the Equator before heading to Duval Street for dinner at Mangoes (see image at left) and then another cocktail at Bourbon Street Pub where we saw one of our favorite female impersonators, Porche (see image below) who doesn't do costume changes but instead changes her demeanor and voice to mimic numerous singers. Her Carol Channing, Judy Garland and Janis Joplin imitations are wonderful - and she is hysterically funny.
Today, more friends - including our European travel companions - arrive and after some time by the pool, we will be doing the historic homes tour this afternoon and biking around the island. Later, the daily cocktail party and then dinner and a play down at the Red Barn Theater.
