One would think that with Jacquelyn visiting that we would make her first full day in the Keys something she would want to do. Think again! It just so happened that her arrival coincided with the Islamorada GIGANTIC Nautical Flea Market. Certainly, we couldn't expect the Captain to miss that!!
So off we went. I fully expected the flea market to be a disappointing 3-4 stalls and not worth the trip. I, as would Jacquelyn, be delightfully surprised. The flea market had boats and gear for the sailing enthusiast but also plenty of jewelry, art and more for those less interested in the sea. By the time we all called the flea market quits each of us had bought something. It was quite fun.
We lunched at Lorlei and enjoyed the open air atmosphere and the music. Then is was a stop at Robbie's to take in the tarpon feeding. Ok, a bit odd I know but I was curious to see how big they were and how many. Jacquelyn and I were shocked at the size and quantity of fish. Many were four foot long or better. We fed the fish and even were attacked by pelicans who felt slighted that all the food was going to the fishes and none to them.
Overall, a great first day I'd say. Next stop - Key West (Again).
