Day 6 Key West

Just another day in paradise!

That is what the locals call it.

Got up late and had breakfast. Nephew made an appointment for noon time so he would be off on his own. Brother and I decided we had better do laundry.  Getting close to running out of clean essentials. So I found laundry across the street. Found three washers and three dryers, just right. Returned to room to report our good luck. Brother and I got change and went for a little hike across the street to do the laundry. There are three guys and three loads. See me working away.

After laundry took a walk down to the Southern most point in the United States. This site was two blocks from our hotel. We are 90 miles from Havana and 137 miles from the closest WalMart. Everyone down here thinks that is something special. They like the laid back atmosphere of the keys.

Once we all got back together a ride on the trolley got us to Bo's restaurant. This is just down the street from yesterdays Pepe's restaurant. Brother wanted to eat here due to the name and it is a seafood shack.

Returned to the hotel. The guys wanted to go to the pool. I wanted to dry off and cool down after all the heat and humidity. I laid down for a little nap while they swam. When awake I brought down drinks for them and we discussed what to do this evening. We decided to walk down Duval to find a place to eat. Eventually we decided on  La Trattaoria, this was a wonderful Italian restaurant. Table clothes and all. We each ordered something different and each dish was wonderful. I had Gnocchi with peas, cheese and ham in a light cream sauce. It was wonderfully seasoned and served hot. Prior to  this we were brought bread plates with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and minced garlic for dipping the delicious pieces of bread into. All agreed that this dinner was one of the best on the trip so far.

I left the guys down Duval street and returned to the hotel to rest for the night.
