First, a hearty Breakfast to prepare us for the days events!

...and then some daytime costumes, just for fun.

We walk out the Front Street Gate from Truman annex.

Dave and I bond with one of the Belongers!  She's speechless.

$850???    
Not a very cost effective way to see the parade, we think?

$2?   What's not to love about Key West?

We stop by Kelley's to get tickets for tonighs event.  $30 p/p.
Not a bad investment.

If you are a newbie in Key West, go for a ride on the Conch Train.  Trust me, it's worth it.
In business since the 1950's, it's a Key West icon.  I rode train #1 in the 1960's.  It's still in service.  I rode it again in May 2015.

A quick stop at Wylands Gallery

And a stop at Hot Hats to check in with last years Painter, Pete.
No, that's not Pete, laying on his back!

One of our friends makes an important purchase at Fairvilla on Front Street!

We run in to the Jelly Fish People

A new Bar & Restaurant, on the waterfront between Schooner's and the Turtle Kraals.
This is where the waterfront market used to be.

What's for dinner?
Off loading the lobsters

Back to one our favorite haunts, the Conch Republic, on the waterfront.
We take up out reserved seats, where we can see and be seen.  The MadDog fans stream by!

Keith of the Bahama Boys, one our favorite entertainers, is there for Happy Hour.

Well, it's back to the Condo to dress for Kelley's

...and off we go!  Only a 5 minute walk to kelley's.

Be forewarned.  Kelley's has instituted a new "NO CAMERA" policy this year.
What that means is, if they can see your camera you don't get in.  Of course, everyone has a cell phone camera, and most have a pocket point and shoot camera.  Trust me, many pictures were taken inside.  But I felt sorry for some of the people turned away.  It may have taken them an hour or more to get back to where they were staying to drop off their camera and return.  Not to mention the fact that they were naked.  Meanwhile, the clock was running on the "open bar" that ran from 9:00 to midnight.  The organizers should have announced this policy in advance, as tickets were sold, I think?

It was sometimes challenging to get a drink and the crowed bar.  Best to load up!

Hmm!  A package containment problem.
Not to worry.  There are plenty of helping hands!

Nipples always need a lot of attention.

Still time for an early Breakfast Beer, and some left overs.

An off to bed at a reasonable hour!
