After we ate we walked around the harbor area again and I picked a museum to go thru. There were several Pirate themed ones, an aquarium, an eco-informational one, a couple of garden walks, and of course Hemingway and Truman homes. I chose a Pirate themed one that was not all that well done but it did allow us to kill some time. We hung around town thinking we would try to catch a sunset on Mallory Square but all the bars were full (two cruise ships of people). We finally found a place to sit and have a drink while watching people go by. Since clouds were going to prevent a pretty sunset we pedaled back to the RV, stopped at a seafood market and got some shrimp for supper. Yummy!
Today (Friday) was very windy and chilly so we drove the Jeep up the Keys, exploring. We found one road that led down to a deer sanctuary where one could walk or ride bikes. We walked for about a mile out then back and only saw one bird, a lizard and smelled a skunk. Not much to see but it felt good to walk. We had lunch at the RV then rode our bikes into town again. We tried a different route that took us thru a residential area which I enjoyed -- quiet streets, neat homes and lovely flora.
Duval is the main street thru Key West where everyone walks and shops. The east end of the street is less crowded and has more of the art galleries and specialty shops. We found a Tapas Bar and a lovely wine bar where we stopped and tried two different flights of red wine and then went back for another glass. The porch protected us from the wind, the sun was warm and people were friendly. Seems to be a local hangout. We dragged ourselves away and made reservations for a trip out to the Dry Tortugas and for scuba diving.
