This morning we started with breakfast at the harbor at Turtle Kraals (http://www.turtlekraals.com/home.html), what a nice setting and the food was good as well. Once we left there we began our day at Mel Fisher’s Maritime Heritage Museum; famous, successful treasure hunter, (http://www.melfisher.org/).
We then headed to the Key West Aquarium, one of the oldest aquariums in the United States (http://www.keywestaquarium.com/); and then to the Shipwreck Historeum Museum with its 65 foot high look out tower (http://www.shipwreckhistoreum.com/). Before we got to the Ship Wreck Museum, we did stop for a treat, that I highly recommend, a Key Lime Crush (slush drink). This is available at the Key West Coffee Company in the Clinton Square Mall (http://keywestcoffee.com/index.htm)
Lunch was next on our tour; we stopped in at Ernest Hemingway’s favorite watering hole while he lived in Key West…Sloppy Joes. (http://www.sloppyjoes.com/) Not only did Hemingway enjoy many, many drinks here, the “Sloppy Joe” sandwich was invented here. And of course we did have Key Lime Pie, again, pretty good, but everyone recommends the Blond Giraffe (Wednesday holds that treat http://www.blondgiraffe.com/.
After Lunch we headed down to the Ernest Hemingway house (http://www.hemingwayhome.com/), this stop was our favorite. Although he only lived in Key West for 10 years, he did some of his best work while here. Also the house is preserved as it was when he lived in it along with his famous 6 toed cats (http://messybeast.com/poly-cats.html).
We ended the day with diner at the Conch (pronounced KONK) Republic Seafood Company (http://www.conchrepublicseafood.com/). This was the least favorite meal and yes Key Lime Pie.
