Travels & Rambles
Greetings from the Key West Literary Seminars. I've been here about a day and a half. There was all manner of airport drama-- stuck on the runway for a couple of hours, lost luggage, et cetera, et cetera. But I am here not and that's all that matters.
The weather is terrific.. 80 degrees. It's supposed to dip down the 70 tomorrow. (I overheard someone say, "Make sure you bundle up!) I have been spending a lot of time by the pool where I came up with my motto for 2008: LIFE IS SHORT. GET YOUR HAIR WET!
Today I have two events-- a reading in about an hour, and then a panel discussion with Silas House and Lee Smith. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some photos.
Yesterday, Jaci and I went exploring on the bikes we rented. (The bokes on which we got LOST.) We wanted to go to the Hemmingway House to get some pictures of the Old Man's famous six-toed cats, but when we saw that it cost $12 bucks to get in, we 
reconsidered. (Did I mention that everything here is expensive? For lunch, I had a $17 fish sandwich!) We did get some pictures from the street.
Jaci and I got confused about the time of last night's dinner, showing up about a hour and a half early. The staff let us in and allowed us to climb to the top of the lighthouse. We were also allowed to hit the bar if we didn't mind drinking from plastic cups. We didn't.
Okay, one more detail from The Amazing Adventures of Tayari-and-Jaci. We have undertaken a comparative study of the local key lime pies. We will post our findings at the end of the trip.
More details to come!
