Talk about the ultimate 'Conch Cruiser'! As a Freshwater Conch, I took the opportunity to try out a true conch ride. The Keys are rife with vehicles of the very colorful variety that look like they couldn't make it over the first bridge. Cars with no doors, 25 year old baby yellow Caddies loaded with colorful stickers, hand done paint jobs, 'custom convertibles' and tricked out bikes of every variety. Conchs are very proud of their creativity and originality as well as the practicality of sporting a vehicle that will be salt eaten in no time. I love the lack of pretentiousness!
And speaking of rides.....Randy's big white truck has piloted Hazel and I to North Carolina where we will be crashing at our friends till Thursday before finally make our way home. I am excited as usual to get back to a 'normal' routine-whatever that is these days.
Talk to you next week from MICHIGAN-where I hope four wheel drive will not be necessary! XO
