More Key West...










With the Nautical Flea Market behind us we could look ahead to some serious Keys exploring. So we headed off for a day in Key West.

Our first stop was the Key West Butterfly House. None of us had been to a Butterfly House before so we didn't know what to expect. The house was beautiful with flowers and foliage, a pond, fish, turtles, birds and, of course, lots of varieties of butterflies. Blues, pinks, oranges, yellows, browns - I can't name all the colors the butterflies portrayed - but it was lovely.

We moved from peace and serenity to crime and chaos with the Pirate Soul Museum. Of course, Dave and Jacquelyn had to compete for the craziest looking pirate in the stocks. Not sure which looked nuttier - I had to call it a draw.

The balance of the day we took in Duval Street and, of course, made a stop at the Dairy Queen. For after a day of adventure with these pirates what would be better than a little ice cream.
