DAY 9

A planned day off, we stayed another day in Key West, everyone was ready for a down day. We all went down to Duval for lunch and the mandatory shopping for the wife and kids. Krys your refrigerator magnet is safely packed away.

Every bar and club had live music even on a Monday afternoon, good stuff to. We had lunch at Sloppy Joe's Bar, this was named by Ernest Hemingway and owned by a friend of his, Hemingway wrote and drank right where we had lunch.

During the afternoon everyone went back to the room except Jan and I. We were already riding around in shorts anyway so we stopped at the beach and did some swimming. This turned into parasailing over the Atlantic with four college coeds from University of Miami. Since Jan and I could be there fathers it sounds more exciting than it is, but the parasailing was fun.

JB caught up late afternoon and we again hit Duval street driving up and down, and going to Hogs Breath Saloon for dinner, I got accused of eating flipper but I think it was a much younger dolphin since it was very tender.
