Conch Republic, Day 2

It's so strange to get to explore the same city two days in a row since we've been on a constant move for almost a month now. And explore we did! We woke up early again this morning and went downstairs for coffee and breakfast. This B&B actually had a nice breakfast prepared for us. We then walked over to the southernmost point of the US for a photo opportunity. We decided that our best bet for getting to know more about the city was to take one of the tour trolleys that allowed us to hop on / hop off. We were able to spend a lot of time on foot this way as well. I would never have guessed this but apparently Key West has the largest number of historical buildings in the US. I enjoyed seeing the historical architecture as well. And really, how can you not love a city that has thousands of wild chickens roaming the streets? One of our stops took us to a really neat toy store where we were able to get a few small gifts for our nephew's birthday. (See picture). We had photo opportunities everywhere we went today. As lunch time approached, neither of us were very hungry so we decided to get some Cuban coffee and (what else) an order of plantains to share. We took our snack to the southernmost beach and enjoyed it while looking at the turquoise water. We boarded the trolley once again and took it to the Green Parrot Bar, which is a Key West icon. It's located in a building that was once the local morgue so of course we had to get drinks here. We continued hopping on and off the trolley like this all day, until we felt like we'd seen a good amount of Key West. When we hopped on the trolley for our last ride, to get back to our B&B, the driver recognized us. We were the only people on his last tour so he decided to take some different routes and gave us a one on one private tour. This last ride was probably the most informative part of our day! After arriving at the B&B, we dropped off our shopping bags and headed out for a quick dinner of lobster roll and conch fritters. On our way to dinner we heard MORE KARAOKE, this time someone was singing 'Wind Beneath My Wings'. Badly. I don't know if Key West is the karaoke capital of the world, but it should be! Today we are still exhausted but it's a good kind of exhausted. Tomorrow we may or may not go see a museum that is home to Robert the haunted doll. I'm scared just thinking about it. As for tonight, we are curling up to watch some good ol' American junk tv before going to bed. If any of you are up for a good spooky story before bed, I suggest you look up Robert the Doll. Just don't say I didn't warn you!
