Day 12
This morning is a chance to explore Key West properly. Mom is still on the hunt for a good family picture, so we donned our family shirts and parked in the free parking on Fort Street. We put a lot of distance underfoot today.
First, we walked to the Southern Most Point buoy, where we had pictures made. A black family from Alabama, whose mother's maiden name was also Ford, took our picture. We wished them safe travels, took their pictures, and set out for the Mile 0 sign on US-1. More pictures.
Then we did some shopping on Duvall St. It is much nicer during the day. In the evening it is a bit too much like Bourbon Street. We had iced Cuban coffee at Grand Havana Coffee Shop, bought Stephanie a Conch Republic tank, and Fergus a collar at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. Then we walked the Ernest Hemmingway Rum Distillery for a tasting and bought a bottle of Papa's Pilar golden rum. All told, we were in Key West about 4 hours.
Many houses are very old. And very cool!
Then back to the car, and back to Sugarloaf Key. We did stop by the Verizon store, where the employee took out the sim on my dead phone, and salt poured out... The rice was a fool's errand.
Pool, then a nap.
Hamburgers for supper and drinks around the table.
Tomorrow we begin the trip back home. Next stop - Orlando. Goodbye, Keys! Until we return.
