Key West....Day 3

Day Three

So after a LOOOONNNGGGG nights sleep last night
and being all rested to start the day we headed out to get tickets for the 
Old Town Trolley Tour.

We were gonna try and not walk as much and see the sights of Key West in comfort.
 Trolley stop was just across the street from our hotel
Southern Most On The Beach
 Our first stop to get off at was
Mallory Square
 We were hungry and of course skipped breakfast so decided to try this Cuban restaurant
right in the square.

It was a cute little place and the food was really good...my best real meal while in Key West...
Caroline's was next.

 After lunch it was time to walk around...in the back of the restaurant was a gift shop with photo props outside...photo props were all over this town...
I liked it.

 We also went into a cigar shop....here are some fresh cigars being rolled.
 Looking out across the water
 Oh My....It's Jaws...

 After we had walked around and did our tourist souvenir shopping we walked over to this Key Lime shop and got a drink and bought some Key Lime goodies to take home.
Then it was time to hop back on the trolley.
 Back on the trolley we past Caroline's where we had lunch the day before...
in the middle is where we sat yesterday...
Liked the time I spent there.
 After our day out playing tourist it was time to head back to the hotel and freshen up for our sun set sail....I had never done this before so I was looking forward to it.
 While waiting until it was time to board our sail boat The Jolly Rover
We had drinks at The Conch Bar...
drinks were good and this place was packed but luckily we had a good seat at the bar.
 After a couple drinks it was time to sail.
 Stacy got a turn to stir the boat.
 You can notice a haze in the air...apparently fires were burning in Cuba and so the haze is from the smoke.
 Passing by Mallory Square...people waiting for sunset
 Watching the sunset from the sailboat was really a cool thing to do.
This is my favorite picture I took while on our sailboat...
and believe me there were lots of pictures taken.
 So cool...it it all happened so quickly....seems like forever for the sun to go down and then when it does it's over in a blink of an eye.
 Big orange ball sinking in the water
 Funny that after the sun sets and is gone it's still day light out.
Here's the Grandma's enjoying our time together
Stacy, myself and Fonda
After getting back to land we had dinner at The Conch Bar and Restaurant...
We waited what I think was 45 minutes....
once seated at our table and getting our food, it really wasn't that great...I think the thing that was the best was the Conch Fritters.

Our night ended with yet another only Grandma's story that has to
Stay In Key West
BUT
I will say

It wasn't Me!!!!!
