Images from Key West # 4: The Green Parrot

After starting my day in Bahama Village, with lunch at Blue Heaven, I continued my walking trek, finding and photographing street signs and telephone poles advertising Emma Street and Amelia Street, for certain sentimental reasons.  With my bike parked and locked securely at the afore mentioned restaurant, I continued my journey by foot inside the Truman Annex for the Little White House, which I hoped to see and tour.

With no luck, and a stubbornness to ask, I continued walking, and suddenly, at 601 Whitehead, with a thirst brought about by walking within a location at 24* N, 81 * W in late July, I saw a bar arise in front of me, like an oasis in the desert, and it was called The Green Parrot.

When thirst is a priority, Coca Cola may alternate with the house amber, and that's o.k.  Upon finding a place at that bar, which was no huge deal at that time of day (2:30 pm), I had the opportunity to take in the atmosphere, which welcomed tourists (like, oh my, myself), and locals, alike. 

The Green Parrot is a beautiful bar, and if for no other reason, its slogan, No Sniveling.  Of course, there's the horseshoe shape, and the music that is played live. 

I must say, I enjoyed talking with the woman in the separated gift shop as much as the bar tenders, who were amazingly attentive.

I will, in the chance I land again upon this key again, frequent this place of business again and in numbers more frequently than times past.
