Petite Maison Jaune - Little Yellow House
I found the pic above and decided it tells a simple story about Key West, the place I decided to call home. I was not born here. I was born in Denver and stayed there until I got so damned tired of shoveling snow and driving on roads that moved too fast and living with too many strangers.
I fell in love with Key West the very first time I came here. A lot of people do the same. Some other first time visitors hate this place and can't wait to get away. Good for them. Haters aren't welcome here. But the welcome mat is out to everyone else. There is a slogan the tourist group uses to entice people to come to Key West - Come as You Are.
I found the photo above and it reminded me of that first trip I made to Key West-the time I fell in love with Key West. The caption beneath the photo read "petite maison jaune" or little yellow house. People from all over the world come to my chosen home to see what this little island at the very end of America is all about. They take pics of the little cottages and grand houses and everyday things that intrigue them as they figure out that Key West is different. Like the pic below.
Sometimes they caption the photos so perfectly that the viewer gets the exact feeling the photographer had when he or she captured the photo and shared it with the world.

Nice. One of the things I like best about your blog is the occasional post that is not really about real estate at all.
I'm in England and look forward to reading it every day! I've visited twice now and one day hope to get in touch to find a "bargain"!
