We spent the afternoon on Islamorada (pronounced I-La-Morada) this afternoon. The name Islamorada or “Island Home” came from early Spanish explorers in the area. It is nicknamed “Purple Isle” since morada can also mean purple. The Village of Islamorada is comprised of six islands including Plantation Key, Windley Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, Lower Matecumbe Key and the offshore islands of Indian Key and Lignumvitae Key.
Weebles Wobble But They Don’t Fall Down, Key West With Friends 12/27/2018
Spent too much time on Peter’s boat yesterday. This vertigo is so frustrating. Ever since my cochlear implant surgery I have balance issues and I have a lot of days when I feel like a Weeble that does fall down! Even our neighbor asked me this morning if I was alright as I was swaying–just standing still. I still was able to go for my morning walk but I felt like i was wandering quite a bit. Fortunately i am feeling better the more the day progresses.

The kids had mid-morning flights home so we joined them in Key West so they could head to the Key West airport after breakfast.

While the weather was cool and windy, it was the best day because Kat and Ryan joined us in the Keys. I rented the house for them to come and visit as their Christmas present, but it was really a present for myself. Love having my family with me for a few days!
