This Week on the Island 09/25/2016



  ‘This Week on the Island’ is written by Doug Bennett and is an update to friends about happenings in Key West last week. Everything is true except for those parts that are lies.
Weather: It has been beautiful all week.
The book this week was ‘Tanzi’s Luck’ by C. I. Dennis.
Not much happening on the island so I will post some current vs old pictures.
