Recently I decided to take a quick trip to Key West Florida to do some snorkeling and maybe some scuba diving and see a town I remember visiting years ago. I arrived within about five or six hours and crashed into the nearest hotel I could find. First of all Key West is closer to
the equator and man ;hot . I mean overwhelming heat. The town is a very old place with many old historical buildings such as Ernest Hemingways home; Harry Trumans winter estate and Mel Fisher the ATocha SPanish galleon finder; his museum is there with loads of gold coins he discovered in the Spanish wreck from sixteen hundreds. Anyway. the homes are older and many in run down condition. The alternative life style life. which means A large group of gay men are everywhere. I mean upon visiting my hotels pool ; well twenty nude men all together in a pool. I have never seen anything like it. The sleeze factor was incredible. Anyway with the heat and the trash that was abundant. and don means white trash all around ; I rate this place a zero on a one to ten scale. Also no one speaks English. and one fellow was annoyed at me because he spoke to me in spanish and I could not reply. what you can t converse with me . sad state of affairs when the english language is no longer used. I strongly think one should learn spanish; we are in the minority it seems. The town of key west has many rip off little shops by the thousands. the food is awful and uknown ; that is what the hell is this shit. I had a conch fritter which had two other uses… a tennis ball. a ping pong ball and or a shot gun pellet. I saw parrots on dogs. men with men and some unknown creatures which I cant still find out; hell what the hell was that. Oh and cats. thousands of cats. roaming about. Oh and chickens and roosters. There are so many chickens that the city came in one night with nets and kidnapped hundred of them. It seems a chicken eats. ticks. bugs. tarantuals and other varmints. Well Key west does have many good values. yep. three tee shirts for ten bucks..key chains. towels. cups .mugs. plates. all kinds of crap. by the way the water was lousy. thats right folks. Key West has no beaches aa its all coral rock and if you do like to snorkel .dive etc. forget it. the reefs are all dead or dying from pollution. Diving the reefs my comment. where the hell are all the fish…What a sad state of affairs.Anyway having a free drink I avoided the hotel staff. the hotel guests who were all gay and all the other folks who couldn t speak the American language. which I found out is Spanish . not english guys… Hell give me a good motorcycle crowd anyday. God bless the USA. Don flash Gordon over and out.
