Welcome to paradise

Over a thousand people travel to Key West Florida to witness it's famous sunsets.  Along Mallory Square, crowds are entertained by street performers, Key Lime pie, and craftsman.  People can take sunset cruises or enjoy sitting on the pier.  It is tradition to applaud at the end of the sunset.

Meeting with humanitarian, Greg Mortenson

  Greg Mortenson is an author who is known for building schools in the Middle East.  Since I work at a local bookshop, I had the pleasure of meeting Mortenson while he was in town talking about his book, Stones Into School.  Mortenson signed over 200 books during the event, and spoke on a personal level to each individual.
