Today was cool and windy, needed a jacket to be comfortable outside. We spent the day sightseeing. After breakfast, Lou and I put Estee's cage together while she sat and watched us. We put a piddle pad in it and her bed and blanket and she just walked in. With her safe and secure, Lou and I set our for Cuba. We were able to get to the 90 mile mark. Note picture
After reaching that point we also stopped to admire the southern most hotel in Key West. Note Picture.
After that we visited a restaurant that had been a favorite of Lou's and Dr. Thomas'. It was wonderful. We both had stuffed crabs with golden rice and black bean soup which was served on top of the rice, this came with fried bananas. We both cleaned our plates and then decided we would leave the Cuban restaurant and do some walking. Note picture of El Siboney on Catherine Street.
We drove out to Zachary Taylor Fort and toured the fort. It was built in 1845 and used in every war up to and including the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. You can note the parade ground and a cannon that was used. The cannon fired a 100 pound ball that would travel up to three miles. At one time the fort housed 600 soldiers. Note picture of cannon with Lou and the Parade grounds.
Tonight as we were just finishing our dinner, SMART friends of our arrived and spent the evening with us. They suggested many things to us that we should do, so we have decided we will stay here at least two more weeks and maybe longer. We have just started talking about the route home and who we want to stop and see and what way to travel home. We would like to see the air show that is going to be at MacDill Air Force Base the end of March.
It is almost time to shut the generator off, so will sign off for tonight.
