After a big day yesterday and another four looming large from tomorrow we decided to take it easy today on our last day in Key West.
We had a late breakfast and wandered down to the Eco Discovery Centre by the wharf. It had some interesting displays re the reef and mangrove eco systems. The highlight was a 30 min movie featuring all we saw yesterday.
A lazy afternoon & an easy salad dinner was followed by an exciting visit to the laundromat to get everything clean and set for our stay in Fort Lauderdale as I don't think we'll have time for that sort of thing until the conference is over.
The news of the day is the 50th anniversary of the famous "I have a dream" speech MLK gave at the March on Washington. Well that and the fact that the world wants to go to war over the s***fight that is Syria :-(
Another walk around Key West has confirmed our impressions, it's a cruisy kinda place. Most homes are really well maintained which can't be that easy given most in this part of town are very old. It's interesting to note few have any grass, most have fabulous tropical gardens, lots of greenery with pavers or cobblestones and either gravel, pebbles or where we'd have grass. Their gardens for the most part have much the same plants as we do. After seeing few obvious gays in San Fran where we'd expected to see them we find its the the opposite here, gays and lesbians aplenty in Key West. Like the rest of the states so far, everyone is very friendly, eager to help out the idiot tourists when we look a little lost and a fair percentage say hi as you walk down the road.
Decided at about 10pm to walk the one block to that restaurant we saw the other day, Better Than Sex. They only do desserts, not sure about the better than sex claim but it was pretty good lol I had the choc rimmed cab sav and Pete the caramel rimmed cider to start and then we moved onto Between the Red Velvet Sheets and Nookie Cookie. If anyone's ever here we really do recommend this place, very atmospheric with hot backpacker types doing the waitressing heavily laden with innuendo.

The pic was taken a couple of days ago when we first found the restaurant but it was mid morning and its only open 6pm til midnight so it took til tonight t get there :-)
