RANSVESTIA

He showed us around the apartment, and explained how everything worked. Then he took us down to the dock, and showed us the boat. It was white with blue trim. The type of boat used mainly for water skiing, but ideal for fishing. He seemed concerned about us using it. I assured him that I had ran boats all my life. I was sure by now that he knew who I was. But he still went along with it all, and I knew by in- stinct, he would continue. But can you imagine the thoughts he had in his head. My GG was getting a kick out of it all, as she had the same suspicious as I.

We thanked Mr. Brown, for his assistance and GG and I went into the apartment and started laughing. We were hilarious. It must have come from a release of tension. The other tenants were nowhere to be seen. Lookout Lodge only has 5 units, and I imagine the other people were out fishing or skin diving, as is common in the keys. So GG and I de- cided to change into our bathing suits and have a little swim after our trip to relax. I didn't have to be coaxed. In no time I was into my beautiful new red one piece suit, with the built in bra, that I bought for this trip. Off came my wig, and on went the matching red, floral swim- cap.

The sun was shining, it was a typical south Florida day. The fresh sea air, blowing in my face and the crunching of the clean sand between my toes as I walked to the water, gave me an inner feeling of cleanliness. I had the natural impulse to take my GG's hand and run into the water with her, but remembered that two girls don't do those things. We both got to the water at the same time, it was cool and felt good against the heat of the sun. We started splashing each other, giggling, and having fun, as friends should. After a short interlude of bathing, we laid on the beach and soaked in the sun's rays. I could tell, this was going to be a wonderful, though all too short vacation.

About 4:30 we returned to the apartment, showered, I shaved, and refreshed my makeup. GG turned on the television as I slipped into a new ruffled robe I bought from one of the fanciest department stores in my area. I went into the kitchen and put up a pot of coffee, then re- turned to the couch and sat with GG while it perked. She discussed the weight that I had taken off once again. (For awhile, I had gained quite a bit of weight but managed to lose it.) My GG worries more about me than I do myself.

We planned to take the boat out late that night, and go snapper fish- ing. The red snapper is one of Florida's tastiest fish. We decided that neither one of us felt like cooking supper, even though there were plenty
