Drive to Key West

Go West .... Key West!

We had a quick snack at the hotel and headed South to Key West.

Today's map is pretty boring to look at.  There is only one road to Key West:

For our actual breakfast, we stopped at the Green Turtle Inn in Islamorada, FL.

A stop at the local Chamber of Commerce directed us to the Crane Point Museum and Nature Center, and the Marathon Wild Bird Center (both in Marathon, FL)

Then we headed to the Best Western Key Ambassador Resort Inn, out by the airport in Key West.

After enjoying the pool, and watching the ibis who seem to live there, we went for a drive to find a good happy hour.

We drove around looking for parking, finding an old fashion parking meter that actually needed COINS!!

I forgot to take this photo :(

After parking, we walked over to Duval Street.  As we got there we turned the corner, and saw a line for Martin's Happy Hour... We take it as a good sign when there are LOCALS lined up for a restaurant to open at 4pm.

Made a stop at Kirmit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe.  They were very nice, and helped us with more coins to feed our meter -- not to mention having good Key Lime Pie.

We continued to explore Key West on foot.  We ended up at Malory Square, for the nightly sunset party.  Unfortunately - too cloudy for a good sunset, but sponge shopping was good.
