We're here, we're... you know.
Here I am in the common room of our little women-only B&B letting you all know that we're alive, Key West is wicked hot, we're melting, and it's fun. Yesterday we stood on the southernmost point of the US (90 miles to Cuba) in the 93 degree heat, sweat dripping off our scantily-clad bodies. Good times.
We refreshed in the 90-degree pool water (funny, that) and headed to dinner of crabs. Mmmm, crabs.
Because we are losers, we then spent the rest of the night in our air conditioned room watching reality shows on MTV. Holy carp, I did not know that such things as "The 70s House" exist. It's food for my deliciously nerdy soul!
Today we promise to do exciting things like go parasailing or something, so that I don't spend all of our honeymoon time watching mid-80s-dumb-kids in polyester making a mockery of my early childhood.

In more serious news, I miss my daddy. Like WOAH. When we got off the plane in Ft. Myers, Jen's dad was SOOOO happy to see her and damn, I miss that. No one was ever quite so happy to see me as my dad was.
Poo.

It's hard to do night stuff because Jen gets really tired, and her foot was really bothering her from walking all day. It also doesn't help that we're not big drinkers, though I would have liked to catch the Sunset Festival one of the nights. Ahh well.
big gay job!
