El Meson de Pepe and Mallory Square

Eric and Emi toured the Hemingway House, Key West Lighthouse and went to the Southern Most Point Marker.  Paul and Dwayne walked along Higg's Beach and visited West Martello Tower which is the remnants of one of the brick forts on Key West and is now a botanical garden maintained by volunteers of the Key West Garden Club.  The garden was an interesting collecting of both native and foreign tropical plants in an unusual setting.  The views of Hawks Channel from the fort's walls were impressive. Carla remained on Boca Chica having a "Carla Day" doing whatever she felt like doing.

We went to El Meson de Pepe for a Cuban dinner and spent the evening on Mallory Square being entertained by the buskers. Eric helped the unicyclist - juggler get mounted.  Dwayne helped him with retrieving his hat which he lost more than once while performing.  It was a fun evening and closed with a short walk down Duval Street to get to the car.
