We had a nice relaxing day today. We had a light breakfast in our room, then took a long walk down Roosevelt Blvd.
We walked as far as the Sheraton Hotel, which was around a three mile walk, and then decided to take an Uber into town rather than turning around and walking back to the hotel. We had lobster rolls at DJs Crab Shack, which is a little dive on Duval Street. They were excellent.
We then caught the hotel shuttle back to the hotel, and hung around the pool for a couple of hours. I went swimming, but Barbara did not.
In the picture above, I am not a two fisted drinker. Those are the ends of swimming noodles we bought in town.
After cleaning up and having a little snack we took the shuttle back into town. We walked over to Mallory Square, which is the place to be to watch the sunset. There are a lot of street vendors and performers there, and of course the sun. The sun set at 5:59 PM.
The picture above was taken at 5:58 PM.
We had dinner at A&B Lobster, which is a fancy (i.e. expensive) restaurant overlooking the water. We ate at a table next to a small wedding party. The bride kept leaving the table with a girlfriend and sneaking off to the bar (not a good sign).
Here is a review of the food from our food critic:
We couldn’t figure out what to order so decided to order two different soups & entrees so that we could taste each one. We ordered lobster bisque & clam chowder & liked the clam chowder better. For our entree we ordered butter poached lobster tail & lobster thermidor & liked the butter poached lobster better. We sat outside on a balcony overlooking the ocean & it was lovely.
After dinner we walked back to Duval Street where we were unsuccessful in buying gifts for our grandchildren. Key West must be the t-shirt capital of the world, but we didn’t want t-shirts.
We then took the shuttle back to the hotel where we watched some television (I guess that’s a Boomer description of what we did – we watched The Kominsky Method on Netflix on our iPad).
We walked a total of 7 miles today. It was another great day with perfect weather and perfect company.
