Wednesday night we did a little bar hopping. The bars are open in Key West until 4:00 a.m. and needless to say we did not close them down! I guess being "40" has slowed us down a bit. Look at this picture...doesn't Susan look like she knows something that she isn't telling?

You know that story....."What goes on in Key West STAYS in Key West!"
We spent Thursday acting like tourists in Key West..........Pepe's, Michael McCloud, and the Conch Trolley. By the way did you know the highest elevation in Key West is 18 feet above sea level? We got a little altitude sickness when we crossed over it....or maybe it was from the rum the night before? We love the Conch Train and Conch Trolley....always learn something new every time. We headed north to Islamorada in the afternoon and stopped at our new favorite pub...No Name Pub on No Name Key.....the home of the endangered Key Deer. We noticed a dollar bill that said something about KU so we promptly asked for markers and the stapler and buried it well behind two dollar bills with MIZ and ZOU! Sorry Kate!!!! Don't these two have a look of satisfaction on their faces after stapling up the dollar bills???

On the way out we were thrilled to actually see the Key Deer playing around in people's yards like dogs! We have only seen 1 or 2 in all of the years we have been going to the Keys so this was a special treat!

O.K.....notice most of this post has been mostly about eating and drinking. The fishing was incredibly slow! We caught one skinny little dolphin on Friday, caught nothing on Saturday except a buzz :)and some seasick passengers:(, but Sunday we found that "magical piece of debris" on the way in (phew) and caught these fish!

Lazy Days cooked our catch and it was DELISH!!!
Monday was the Vans and Deerings last day so we decided to take the day off and go bar hopping one last time before their departure on Tuesday. We first got our "foundation" (as my good friend Carol says) for our Happy Hour excursion at Hungry Tarpon....fish tacoes and shrimp burritos...DELISH again! Then on to Worldwide Sportsman for some shopping, Zane Gray for drinks, Rum Runners for drinks in the "pods", Island Grill for conch fritters and more drinks, and finally Hog Heaven for some of their fish tacoes, sliders, and more drinks! It was VERY handy that "Our Bob" served as our DD that day (well and every day)! Here is a slideshow of drinks in the "pods."
Tuesday morning we said "goodbye" to the Vans and Deerings :( A good time was had by all and we were sad to see them go. But, CTM and I looked forward to another week in the beautiful Florida Keys and more fishing :) Catch you on the flip flop....
