Key West: Days 3 & 4

Day 3 - Key West Shorthand (hey, we're on vacation!)

• worked out at the gym


• walked around trying to find a donut...went to Bad Ass Coffee instead for a bagel sandwich


• rented bikes


• went to Camille's for lunch (thanks Lisa & Tim!)


• rode to South Beach


• rode by Southernmost Point (super crowded)


• got vertigo climbing up into the Key West Lighthouse, saw all the way around the island, dropped W's sunglasses off of the top, found them at the bottom (unscathed),


• decided NOT to go into Hemingway House for about the 10th time...I love Hemingway but the house just doesn't look that interesting


• rode past Higgs Beach to Smather's Beach - took photos of kiteboarders at the beach...decided to ride all the way around the island...then did. Odd to ride bicycles where the brakes are just rotating the pedals backward!


• had a drink at the Conch Republic Seafood Company


• went back to Sunset Ceremony at Mallory Square...took LOTS of photos, had more 'Green Things' from Jimmy and a pretzel


• ate dinner at Half-Shell Raw Bar, had drinks at Island Dogs Bar, finished up the night at Irish Kevin's
  

Day 4
Sunday morning we woke up early to take some pictures. We rode the bikes down a completely empty Duval Street (with the exception of the streetcleaners) down to South Beach to watch the sunrise. We weren't alone! About 5 different photographers were out to take in the gorgeous sunrise. We took in Duval Street, Southernmost Point and several other attractions on the very quiet morning. W and I did a little shopping at Montage for some new signs to add to our Key West collection on the second floor. Then we met W's parents at the Bistro for brunch.

After checking out and heading back to Summerland, Raye, W and I headed to Bahia Honda State Park for a little beach time. We explored part of the old bridge, spent a little time in the water and on the beach. When we were done at the park, we travelled south to Big Pine and searched for Key Deer. Success! We caught two in front lawns and two out in the wild! I feel like a staffer for National Geographic!!!
