Sunset at Mallory Square
Everyone who has ever been to Key West says watching the sunset at Mallory Square is the thing to do. Though I’m not sure it’s what the locals do, it does draw a massive crowd. Thousands of tourists pack themselves into the tiny pier to see street performers, buy kitschy artwork and jewelry, eat street food and – of course – watch the sun sink into the Gulf of Mexico.
Think of it as where the Venice Beach frequenters go for vacation when they retire; just replace Sublime with Jimmy Buffet, weed with booze, and skateboarders with tightrope walkers. It’s definitely not our scene, but we got a kick out of watching the patrons as much as the street performers.
One man's trash is another's way to sell overpriced trash to tourists.
Ayk took this picture and it is possibly one of the best from the entire trip.
It took us at least 5 tries and 4 different locations for us to get this picture right. I had to swerve in and out of the densely packed crowd, dragging Ayk behind me, to find the best spot. I might have gotten a few dirty looks, but at least my persistence paid off. This is one of my favorite pictures of us from the trip.
Some religious nut making Glenn Beck look almost sane.
Captivating an audience of two.
