The building at Schooner Wharf is being rebuilt.

Boca (my Siberian Husky) and I were at Mallory Square Wednesday night watching the sunset. The humidity had my t-shirt sticking to me. There was a light breeze. The ocean was lapping against the seawall. The sunset was beautiful. I was thinking, it doesn't get any better than this.

Key West, You have got to love it
