Key West vacay Day 2

Awakened to a rooster calling outside our window...and another responding from a block away, like the dogs of London in "101 Dalmations." But much less cute.  Breakfast at the guest house.

Laura at the front desk comped us three bikes for the day! These are heavy, fat-tired, single-gear beauties with a wire basket on the handlebars.

We rode to the Southernmost Point, very crowded as it was a trolley/tour bus stop. Took a few pictures, then found less-busy roads to get us to nearby Higgs Beach. This one was less busy and we hung out here for a while.

Lunch at Saluté on the beach. Priciest meal so far but they had the best Key Lime pie (piled high with meringue). Rode our bikes back and forth on quiet neighborhood streets, admiring the variety of homes and imagining what it would be like to live there year 'round.

Back at the guest house, we laid out in the sunshine and took naps. Then cleaned up and hit Duval Street. Got frozen 'ritas at Fat Tuesday and drank them (in public!) as we walked to Mallory Square. There, we saw lots of interesting people and E got her conch fritters.

But the real reason we were there was to watch the spectacular sunset:

 We got refills at Fat Tuesdays on the way back to our room, changed into warmer clothes, then had a taco dinner at Amigos.  The OSU- Clemson Orange Bowl game was on across the street, so we could keep track of the score.  We finished watching the (sad) game in our room.
