Day tripping to Key West

Morning at the pool and then watching some big lizards on our yard and Debbie Doo's sandwich lunch at the beach. Try the Capitan sandwich unless you're a vegetarian. We have been to Florida many times but we had not seen everything yet. For example, we have never seen a manatee before and today we finally saw one. It was much bigger than we anticipated. As big as the kayak in this picture. We were at Robbies to see the tarpons being fed. They were also huge but then the manatee appeared by the pier. It was amazing. As we had been to Robbies before I almost drove by but then decided to turn as Mona had not seen the tarpons before. It was a good decision. After the manatee sighting we almost drove to Cuba, or at least as close as you can drive. On arrival we had ice cream and I had rainbow ice cream to blend in. Sunset celebration at Mallory Square had actually the new performers as well but the banjo-playing guy with a money-collecting dog was my favorite. Thai and sushi dinner and then drive back to Islamorada. The distances at the Key as longer than expected. No matter where you go, you will never get there on time. And Kia is now 16 years old.
