Atlantis House Key West

... had to ascend making safety stops along the way. We must have spent 15 minutes just hanging on the mooring line for deco which got a little boring but it was another great dive on a great wreck. Our third and final dive of the day was the "Christ of the Abyss" site, a 25 foot dive and good ending to a day of diving.

Back on shore we head back to check on Paul Z. who's ...

... by but there are a series of buses than run and Sol knew the routes so i followed him and he took us straight to the hostel which was about 4 blocks back from the ocean. It was a similar heat to Miami, about 92F and not a cloud in the sky. I dropped my bag off and went exploring, Sol went off to buy some leather for his masks and Tom went to try and find somewhere to live & get a job at the harbour. When i checked in i was given a map of the island so headed for the coast ...

... It's unbelievable how nice A/C really is, but we really haven't been inside to much, we have been taking full advantage of Key West.

We arrived here Tuesday afternoon and we started the day off trying to stay cool, we visited a couple beaches, but ultimately we found that our hotel pool was the best way to stay cool. We did make it out of the water, and headed downtown to grab some dinner and check out a little of the night life...

We signed up for "The ...

... we're hoping he will get another opportunity when we reach the west coast.

Instead, we decided to take a walk down to Fort Zachary beach on Key West, as it didn't look that far on the map. How wrong we were! The walk took about 30 minutes in the blistering heat (the hottest day we have had so far). It was quite an interesting scenic route though, as we stumbled across a part of the island called 'Bahamian Village', where a lot of ...

... degree heat. Once in the water the trainer introduced us to the dolphin by letting us stroke his back as he swam past us. His skin felt like a cross between suede and rubber. Next we got to swim with him, by holding on to his dorsal fin as he pulled us through the water - great fun. I also got to have a kiss from Talon. He swam up to me and I had to put my hand out and gently pull his nose forward to my cheek and then gently guide him away again. We were also taught that the ...

... den usa und der karibik ist - wobei der karibische einfluss teilweise fast dominanter ist. ich bin seit mehr als 18 stunden auf den beinen als wir endlich das haus erreichen. ich lerne joans mutter mary (87) und deren mann (joans stiefvater) frank (91) kennen. frank ist aufgrund einer lungenerkrankung gesundheitlich ziemlich beeinflusst, kann kaum alleine aufstehen und bekommt rund um die uhr sauerstoff über eine nasenbrille. das haus ist klasse! auf zwei ...

I’m pretty amazed about my German friends, they just mind to go to supposed to be “surfers shops”, I mean “supposed to” because those shops are obviously just fashion places where surfers where probably going 30 years ago but not anymore…they don’t even sell surf boards…whatever, A/C is a good reason to get in. I turn around the shop and start waiting for those guys, where are they ...

... so this is my final pre-departure update. My ankle is still sore, but doing better. I have not been restsing it as much as I should have, but ce la vie. I hope it puts up with me on this ride. For the first time in my life I decided to chop off all of my hair leaving only a little fuzz (I hope this will help with the heat we are going to ...

... Late afternoon and the sound of live bands in the bars spills out on to the street, as the occasional busker takes his position on the street corner. Tat shops for the tourists line the street along with restaurants. It's alive, non-threatening and fun. Oops....nearly tripped over a chicken! Looked at adding credit to my phone which wouldn't be a problem as it was sorted out some days ago....right? Guess again. The curse of Net10 will follow me ...

5:28 - Official end of 95. Now it's Route 1. Oh yeah, I forgot. We weighed ourselves before back at the house. I weighed in at a grand 143 lbs, Keith a muscular 164 lbs, and Brett a much improved 167 lbs. We'll see by the end of the trip if we gain/lost any weight. ****, we still haven't called Grand Canyon yet for reservations. Keith is going to try now. Everyone honks down here. We saw cops in Miami so we may try to get on COPS ...
