Key West...Day 2

Day Two...

(Keywords in today's post will be...Ohio State, The Rum Runner and Hog's Breath)

We all had our turn waking up...I'm usually the first one up...

When we got to our room last night after arriving in Key West it was dark so we really didn't get a good look at our view.

This was our view...wasn't oceanfront but still good enough to enjoy time on our balcony, quite time, Facebook time, etc....

Once we got up and moving we decided to hit Duval Street....our first stop though would be to go and get our photo moment with the buoy at The Southernmost Point right behind our hotel.

Here you can look out to Cuba...90 miles away.

As we made our journey walking on Duval I noticed Ohio State stuff outside and thought that was kinda odd but cool at the same time....My son in law is from Ohio and is a fan as is his family that are there in Ohio.

 And of course another photo op outside the original 

Margaritaville

Fonda and I

 And again while walking....we eye-spied some more Ohio State stuff....this time a flag flying outside a B&B...and that's not all....we saw people at street stands selling all types of Ohio State souvenirs, jewelry, hats....etc....

We though...what was up with Ohio State...the further we walked the more we saw....and people wearing t-shirts and all....

So, Fonda asked...what was up...there was a cruise ship in port...an Ohio State cruise...

The Buckeye Cruise For Cancer. 

So, we walked a little more and because we started a little late we were looking for a place to have an early lunch as we hadn't had breakfast....we stopped at Caroline's and sat at a table in the shade close to the sidewalk...good for people watching.

Though it was a simple lunch it was one of our better meals (in my opinion) on this trip...Stacy had a cuban sandwich and Fonda and I had the Dolphin Fingers, which was Mahi-Mahi...really good...

and then of course I had 

The Rum Runner....

It was time to start the day and since we were on vacation having a drink during the day was justified...this one was on the rocks, not frozen...some are frozen....Yummy!

It was time to set out so we got a drink to go...yes you can drink on the street if you don't act stupid...the law says NO but apparently they don't bother you if you have your wits about you.

 As we walked we came across a bird man.

Stacy wanted her picture taken

 So I had mine done as well...

Cost...$10 a picture...

I'm telling you people...we are in the wrong business...we need to retire in a place we want to chill in and do something stupid that people would pay money for and call it a day.

Easy Living.

I'm seriously thinking about selling fruit or trinkets in Italy...

So as we walked we came across The Hogs Breath

We had already read about it so we thought we would go in...

We were gonna try and do our own Pub Crawl...

go into several bars and have a drink and check them out.

After all Key West has 117 bars.

So as we walked back....it sat back off the road...guess how surprised we were to find that the party crowd of the Ohio State cruise was here....

They were a lively bunch....fun and good music.

This place was packed...we could barely make it to the bar to order a drink...but we found our way ....my drink of choice became The Rum Runner...was really tasty on a warm day....we then found a spot right outside under a tree looking in to where the band was playing...

The band playing was also from the cruise.

I met a lot of friendly people...
had a
GREAT BIG OLE TIME ...
stayed longer than one drink...

and never made the pub crawl.

If any of you remember a few years back my post from our San Francisco 

Grandma's Gone Wild

let's just say... Fonda returned the favor.

What Happens On Grandma's
