FRIDAY JANUARY 15TH

Finally, a warm sunny day. I even put shorts on. We hopped on our bikes and enjoyed the warm breeze as we peddled the 3 ½ miles into downtown Key West.

We toured “The Pirate Soul” museum. It was interesting with excellent displays. We felt it was a bit overpriced at $14 a ticket, but we were glad we went. I guess we need to keep in mind that a drink is $8 around here, so maybe the museum was really a bargain?

Decided to return to Blue Heaven for lunch since it was warm enough to sit out in their backyard garden. There are tables scattered beneath the large trees and of course…….the Key West chickens!















This hen was busy cleaning up at a nearby table.












This handsome guy came to
strut his stuff by our table.

















I rewarded him by feeding him a little rice from my hand. Felt kind of guilty that we’d ordered the chicken special.









I’ve been talking about the various conch dishes served down here in the keys. You probably ask yourself what they do with the leftover shells. Well, maybe you don’t ask yourself that. Anyway, they clean and polish them up and sell them to the tourists. They will even carve your name in to one! How can you pass that up? Who doesn't need a big shell with their name on it? We’ll be in town for another day or two if you want to put your order in for one.
