Key West Recap - Day 2

Woke up for our scheduled bicycle tour but it looked like it was going to rain so we postponed. Wandered around as the weather ended up holding. Went to the Butterfly Conservatory, which was surprisingly cool.

Then went to the Hemingway House, which I loved. Great to see where the maestro wrote, argued, loved, drank and had lots of cats.
Back to Sloppy Joe's to write postcards, a la Papa Hemingway and then we walked through a massive lightning storm to the Half Shell Raw Bar, which was great. The Wife and I played shuffleboard, with her rolling out to a 9 point lead. However, even that commanding lead wasn't enough to stop me, coming back in dramatic fashion to beat her.
Went for a quick nightcap at the Green Parrot to see a band - the southernmost bar in the United Statesand then Rose went home and we went for one final nightcap at the outdoor bar at La Te Da. Ended up meeting a couple that knew Johnathan & Andy and they took us to the Bottle Cap (a really great bar inside a liquor store!) for the final final nightcap. A great serendipitous evening...
