Day 8 – Saturday, March 22, 2014 – Key West
I wanted to go to the Hemingway house, so off we went to see the town. First to pose at the southern end of US 1.
As a kid we painted the 8′ by 30′ sign at the north end of US 1. We had thought that there was as large as sign here at the south end, but no, this is all there was.
The Hemingway home was the same as ever, especially the huge pool. I had not seen the loft where he wrote, it was very, very nice.
Hemingway cats:
We then went off to the shops,
the costumes were awesome.
At one shop I met Paul Watson of The Sea Shepherds – “ECO-WARRIORS”, Eco Terrorist? Eco Pirate? Whatever, they have several films out regarding their exploits, we watched one, he surely is aggressive. Paul is wanted by Interpol, but he did not seem to be worried. He purchased a girl’s costume and had his photo taken with the owner of the store. Click below to see more about Paul:

Lunch at Ochi Cafe (124 DUVAL STREET) where we had a great meal of pork and plantains
where took photographs of an interesting cat with the greenest eyes.
It was not a six toed cat like those at the Hemingway House.
I purchased a glass figurine from the glass blower in the market there.
Back to the ship for dinner
and the show: Dancing with the Stars at Sea Finale They had quite a show spotlighting seven passengers dancing, the judges were so funny!
