Key West day 3


At 6 a.m. our time, there was a loud banging going on which woke us both up. It was bright and sunny outside and we were almost to port. It was 7 a.m. Florida time and we were both ready to go. All the sleep we have had in the past few days made us completely refreshed. Now, we were still sick and the first place we wanted to hit up was a drug store, but we weren't sleepy. We had breakfast, walked out to the dock, with no excursions planned, we weren't sure what we were going to do. Our plan was to just hang out. Relax. Shop. The island is no more than three miles around and we wanted to see it all. We decided to rent a motor scooter and that was the best thing we could have done. It was so much fun!

We shopped, toured a museum with a haunted doll named Robert,

saw the southern most point of the United States and took photos there,

cruised around some more, stopped at a beach,

had lunch at the Hogs Breath Saloon,

shopped some more, had Hagan Daz and turned in our scooter. It was 3 p.m. and our day in Key West was almost over. We boarded the boat and went to sleep. We slept for four hours. When we woke, it was time for dinner. We had another delicious meal. Today makes two months that I haven't eaten meat. At dinner, I wanted to taste Jude's appetizer. It was a white pasta of some sort. As I took a bite, all I could taste was a smoked meat. Jude said, "No, there's no meat in it". Oh, I could taste it. That's all I could taste. Right then, our server walked up and confirmed there was bacon in it. Funny how overwhelming the taste was to me.
Now, we lay in bed watching Benjamin Buttons.

Facts about Key West:
They have Banyan trees, just like in Maui.
That was the last time I saw one, five years ago on our honeymoon. Everybody say "Awwwhh".

Just like around here, Key West has pigeons (rats with wings) roaming the streets AND they have CHICKENS! Can you believe that? Chickens are protected under some city code and you are not allowed to bother them. The locals said they sing all day AND all night. Crazy! They walk through restaurants and all.
