The Keys::Day 2::Turtle Kraal

We really enjoyed our tour of the Hemingway House. After I had my fill of soaking up the atmosphere there, we met up with our friends and started a walk that eventually ended up at Turtle Kraal, a little cafe/bar on the water somewhere in Key West. I just know we walked a long time in very hot humid weather. And I loved every minute of it.

"...love the smell and feel of the taverns. I miss dirty jokes and the click of pool balls in the background, and that kind of bluish, under lit glow of a bar at night."

After we ate lunch, we walked outside and up the stairs. This little sign was at the top of the stairs...

On the roof top we were able to see a beautiful view. (Thanks to Matt getting us up there!)

Have you ever seen a sponge monster? Well, take a look at this...(not the best photo, but he was wiley)...

Much like this old truck, after all of the walking I was out of gas. I think we went back to the hotel and swam and got in the hot tub for awhile to regenerate ourselves.
