Key West Day 3

After finally getting a chance to sleep in, we walked 3 blocks down to the public beach area for some R&R. One shout-out I have to give to my local Panhandle is our beaches beat the beaches down here by far (because the ones here are man-made). Sadly, it was overcast and started to drizzle so we headed back to Duval for some shopping.

After making our way in-and-out the little Duval St. boutiques, we made it to Kinos, a handmade sandal shop where my sister and I grabbed our favorite styles for only $12! We loved them so much that we put them on right away and continued our walk to dinner.

We walked down Greene St., past the yachts parked at the long dock and followed the music in the air to Schooner’s Wharf. Claimed to be “One of the Last Pieces of Old Key West,” I was charmed by the old drift wood tiki huts, lined with white lights, that we dined under. My dad and I ordered a round of Kalik, a Jamaican beer, and my sister and I shared the Tuna Tacos (which I’d highly recommend if you like sushi!!). For our entrée we split the Seafood Platter. In the middle of this all, my sister (Erin), looked over to the bar and pointed out two Hemingway “Look-A-Likes.” She grabbed the camera and my hand and made her way to the two men enjoying their beers and asked, “Can we get a picture with you??” They laughed and said it was their “luckiest day” to have their photo taken with two blondes and before we walked away they added, “I’m the winner from 2001 and he won last night.” So by chance, we got our photo taken with the Hemingway “Look-a-like” of 2009!!! Wahoo!!!

To top the night off, we walked on Duval under the lights and grabbed homemade ice cream for our trip home. :)
