This Week on the Island 11/30/2019

‘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.

The Weather:  Beautiful. I love this time of the year. BUT so do the tourist. The island is packed for the 4-day Thanksgiving Weekend.

If you go to the new Truman Waterfront Park and go to the waters edge, you will be at the old ‘sub pen’. (enclosed area for docking submarines in WWII). On the other side of the sub pen is a concrete wall called the ‘outer mole’. This is where the cruise ships dock sometimes. On the other side of that wall is this little beach. Most people don’t know it is there, and the only way to get there is around back of Fort Zack.

This is the old Pirates well on Caroline Street and the first fresh water found on the island.

The water park at the Truman Waterfront. In full use most of the year.

Rachel and Shadow, two new huskies at the dog park.

Christmas before Thanksgiving. Even here in Key West we have that problem. On Thanksgiving eve, we had the Christmas lights at the bight.

There is always time for a little relaxation.

A little thought for you

Next week we will walk with the dog in the Christmas Parade.
