Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #405 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Back on board from a long hot steamy walk in Key West. We ended up going all the way to the southern most point and back with a few stops on the way. I'm going to put my stuff away and go find somewhere besides my cabin to write... 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #406 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Okay, I'm back again after going back outside into Key West by myself to do a couple more things while we're here... But, going all the way back to when we first went out earlier. We started up at the end nearest the ship, and eventually made our way all the way down Duval Street to the southern most point and beyond. The wild chickens were running around in the streets... 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #407 Share Posted October 19, 2023 We originally talked about going up to the Garden of Eden on top of the Bull and Whistle Bar, but it wasn't open yet that early. We continued down Duval Street... 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #408 Share Posted October 19, 2023 We popped into an art gallery that had tons of unique pieces, and they didn't mind me taking pictures, so I just snapped away... The galleries in Atlanta would never let you take photos... 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #409 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Next, another little gallery that had mostly musical artists. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #410 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) And then an antique shop that had tons of huge bronze states and other cool stuff, including real Dale Chihuly chandeliers...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #411 Share Posted October 19, 2023 And then we just kept going south on Duval until we reached the ocean, and our stop for lunch and a couple of drinks. The Seaside Cafe next to this old Victorian hotel had some lobster biscuits I've had my eye on for a bit, so I knew I had to get some. They claimed to also have a great margarita, so I did one of those too. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #413 Share Posted October 19, 2023 The lobster biscuits turned out to be great, and the margarita was easily better than anything I've had on the ship so far, so I'll call it a success. I needed to use the restroom, so I walked around the building and down a skinny alleyway that someone "of considerable size" would've never gotten through... 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #414 Share Posted October 19, 2023 JinxyB wanted to get her picture down at the southern most point, so I went down there with her to wait in line for that. I can't believe people wait in a line for twenty or thirty minutes to take a picture by a piece of concrete, but when in Rome... 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #415 Share Posted October 19, 2023 And then we started making our way back up Duval towards town. Popped into another little shop and picked up a t shirt... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #417 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Now we were back almost to the ship, so I went in a little cigar shop and picked up a box to bring back home.

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #418 Share Posted October 19, 2023 And that's when we got back on the ship for the first time. JinxyB had some stuff she wanted to do, so I headed back out on my own. I didn't come all the way to Key West to NOT eat some key lime pie, so... 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LisaLisa87 Posted October 19, 2023 #420 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I love walking Duval Street. So many interesting things to see (and eat and drink!). I wonder if this sign is still in the window at Ben & Jerry's: 2 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #421 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Since it wasn't too far, I also went over to the Bull and Whistle Bar, and visited the Garden of Eden clothing optional top deck, just to say I did it. No, I didn't drop trow and join the other nudists... There's no cell phones allowed up there, so I just threw mine in the bottom of my beach bag and entered. I didn't want to just be some kind of creepy voyeur, so I did sit down at the bar and order a couple of beers. About three tenths of a second after my backside hit the barstool I considered exactly what kinds of things this barstool has likely been through... It was too late at that point, so... 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2023 Author #422 Share Posted October 19, 2023 We'll just say that most of the people up there aren't the type of people you'd want to see naked... A few seventy something year old men letting it all hang out, as well as several topless women, none of which I would really WANT to see naked... Anyhoo, I can say that I've been there now. It's almost 4:00, and dinner at Extra Virgin is at 7:00, so I might take another shower before then... 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MeganGC1983 Posted October 19, 2023 #423 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Was anyone partaking in the nudist activities? Maybe some midday, Key West Twister or bar jenga? Karoke? 1 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadebud Posted October 19, 2023 #425 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Key West is certainly unique! Everyone must experience the Garden of Eden once. Once is really all you need. Unless you are one of clothing optional people. 🤣 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
