Eaton Street

It takes no effort at all some days for me to nail down a couple of views of Key West that illustrate why people like to live in this town. Certainly the weather seems to be the biggest draw, especially if you like to ride a motorcycle (or a Vespa) but architecture can't be dismissed...
... all those 19th century wooden homes with their gingerbread details, comfortable porches and indoor outdoor living. The archway on the picture above is the entrance to the Old Island House.The details some times tell a story and these windows thrown open in the 91 degree heat set me to wondering who was toughing out summer inside. The satellite dish on the roof must serve someone else in the house, I figured, for i would rather have air conditioning than television if it had to be a choice.A classic Conch Cottage.
A perfect day to be out and about on two wheels.
