Alien Sphere Set Free

We had to scrounge around to find tools to free the stainless steel ball. A giant board for a fulcrum, a large stick for a wedge and a metal tube to hack at the restricting rocks. Sharie and I provided encouragement and caution to the men, comments like "you're going to get a hernia" and other wise advice. After two hours of this, I was bored, so started the long trek back. They claim the ball was freed, but since it was filled with sand and water it weighed a tad bit (say over 500 pounds) I have to admit it was very entertaining to watch the entire show. So if anyone would like a stainless steel ball they are welcome to it. The tide was coming in, so can only assume the ball may go back into hiding!

Giant Alien Sphere Spotted

Somehow, someway Chris managed to spot an enormous stainless steel ball, hidden under huge rocks. Even though the rest of us were headed back he convinced James to help "free the ball".

Beach Treasures

James and Sharie found a great rope ladder. Lucky it was close to the Kawasaki "mule". The way to this area was pretty wild, like an amusement park thrill ride. Not much of a path, complete with branches smacking you in the face, cat's claw and poisonwood.
To add to the thrill, there were giant sink holes that could swallow you up. James drove the mule from their house on the Caribbean side to the Atlantic side.

Hermit Crab Moving Day

Left seven shells marked K1 to K7 anticipating hermit crabs coming in for an exchange, moving on to bigger shells. We caught this guy in the act of trading in for my largest accommodation, K1 (even though I realize it should be K7). It took him around an hour to move, not bad!

Hemingway Home - Key West

Bed and Bath

Ernest put two twins together to make a king size bed. The head board was made from a gate.

Swimming Pool and Fountain for Cats

Story goes that Ernest's second wife, Pauline, had the pool built for $20,000 (the house only cost $8,000) while Ernest was gone. When he returned and found out he retaliated by dragging home a urinal from a local tavern. Pauline tried to disguise the urinal by adding the huge olive oil jar as a fountain and added tile around the edge of urinal.
