KEY WEST--ENCORE!

Today we disembarked from the Liberty and drove to Key West. Another beautiful sunny day in paradise. The drive is spectacular, over the bridges and through the Keys, Atlantic and Gulf in view--- very special in terms of vista, palm trees, birds, temperature, and sun. We even saw monarch butterflies.
We checked into the Doubletree Hilton by 2 p.m. I keep wondering if Tim is trying to outdo himself with every segment of this trip--another great room that leads right to the outdoor pool. We took a shuttle ride to Old Town, Key West to see Tim's cousin and make arrangements for tomorrow. Then we walked around a bit and had a tasty lunch at Caroline's Cafe at 310 Duval Street. The burger was one of the very best I've ever had. Tim had a shrimp po' boy that he really enjoyed. We shared key lime pie.  When we returned to the hotel about 6 p.m., we even took a swim--very very unusual for me, especially in February!!!!!!! The pool and air were about 85 F. I don't think anyone we know swam outdoors in Erie today.
