Casa Cudjoe Week 1

The Casa Cudjoe home is everything we expected. Plenty of room for everyone and very comfortable. We have the pool heater running, but with the air temperatures still 10-15 degrees below normal, the water is still too cold. Steve took a plunge, but he didn't stay in long.

Like all good visitors to the Keys, we visited Key West and rode the Conch Trolley to get an overview of the Island.

At the Southermost Point in the US, we got off the train and stood in line to get our picture taken. Pictured are Week 1 visitors Chuck and Terie (far left, Liz's niece and her SO) and Cyndi and Glenn (far right, long time friends of Terie and Chuck).
At sunset time, we headed for Mallory Square for the daily sunset celebration. This schooner was passing by.

Later in the week, we had lunch at the Square Grouper on Cudjoe Key and took this picture. Our best friends, Ron (gray tee shirt) and Sue (red tee shirt, turquoise hoodie) are here for the month.

We drove to Bahia Honda State Park and walked on this beautiful beach.

Our boat is secured at the dock and we are continuing to sleep aboard, but for the most part we're hanging out at the house. Here's a view of the sunset looking down our canal.
The last full day of Casa Cudjoe Week 1, Steve took Terie, Cyndi, and Chuck out for a dinghy ride through the canals to look at the homes in our neighborhood. The water in the canals is turquoise and very clean and clear.
