Whew! I'm tired! We spent all day on the bikes in Key West. Best weather we've had on this trip - near 80°, little wind, sunny. We left the RV around 10:30 AM (lazy morning) and rode into town, an easy ride with bike lanes all the way. We wondered around a bit then found a place to lock the bikes and walked all around Mallory Square and the wharf area scoping the bars and restaurants and watching the tourists. We found a neat roof-top place overlooking the boats for a nice lunch break.
We rode the bikes some more stopping at the Southern Whitehouse -- a vacation spot favored by Pres. Harry Truman; rode past Hemmingway's home, looked at Coast Guard cutters, and found the beaches where we might be able to snorkel tomorrow. We also got lost (sort of) and rode in an unsavory part of town.
Around 5 PM we headed back to Mallory Square where all the people gather to watch the sunset. We got a Margarita and watched street performers until the sunset but we didn't really get to see the sun set as a dense fog rolled in about 5:30. It was really weird. There were acrobats, cat performers, fire eaters, musicians, and magicians. Lots of jewelry, art, and junk being sold.
By the time we rode our bikes back to the RV it was after 7 so we went to a local place called Hogfish for supper and had to wait over an hour for food because they were so busy! Good night!
