Jana and I enjoy our usual routine, a nice fresh coffee followed by a walk with the dogs and then back for breakfast and into our day.

Jack and Ellie came downtown with us and we went in search of Peter Lik’s Gallery. This proved a little difficult as the gallery had relocated. On the way we found several other galleries on Duval Street, most notably DE LA, which is Jorge de la Torriente’s gallery. The curator was a lovely lady who showed real interest in both Jack and Ellie’s interest in Torriente’s work. 

Jack has been exploring his photographic talents and producing some phenomenal results.  Seeing Torriente’s work close up (and Lik’s work through the windows) was certainly inspiring for him.

We had a wonderful lunch at a little Cuban cafe, Fritas Cuban Burgers. The food was really authentic and the service was awesome! Lovely people!! It had a quaint outdoor dining area just off Duval Street, and Frita the dog was really cute. ?

We headed back to the bus for school and work and spent the remainder of the day working on our respective ‘stuff’.

We’re getting a feel for Boyd’s now and liking the vibe. It’s a combination of a lot of regulars, some full timers and staff that live at the park. The staff in particular is very friendly.

We end up heating up leftovers for dinner and settling in for our second night on Key West. The evening breeze coming in off the bay is lovely and we leave the windows open to enjoy the fresh breeze.

When you leave the window open to enjoy the evening breeze you also let in the sounds of the campground. When we stayed in Key West in general. The thing that stands out among the many noises at night is the roosters. The Key West Gypsy Chickens are everywhere. 

They are descendants of wild island chickens that were brought to the mainland as food. Because Key West is a ‘No-Kill’ island the chicken population has blossomed. All the while where there’s chickens, there’s roosters. 

Having grown up on a farm with chickens, turkeys, pigs and sheep I realize that roosters crow at dawn and can make a ruckus at other times.

In the case of the Key West roosters they crow at all hours of the night. I am not sure if it is a result of their inbreeding (JK) or they’re getting into the island rum and don’t realize what time it is. 

Nonetheless we’ve had to close the window at night just to avoid the many roosters crowing at the non-existent sunrise.
