We had visited the Southernmost Point several times, but it was always difficult to get a picture. Not
surprisingly, it's a pretty popular photo spot. Once we realized that few people were out and about before 10 a.m., we decided that was the time to go. A nice woman from Canada took this picture for us.
Next to the Southernmost Point is the Southernmost Christmas Tree.
Next we took a tour of Key West on the Conch Tour Train. We saw parts of the island we hadn't yet been to, and learned a lot about the history of KW.
In the afternoon, David rented a scooter for us to tootle around on. Yes, we BOTH rode on it. I will admit that it was very fun, but I'll stick to riding on back and not driving.
Our scooter took us to the Hemingway House. We first opted for the self-guided tour. Quickly realizing that we didn't know anything, we joined the guided tour. There are currently 47 cats on the Hemingway property and Hemingway always kept 40-50 cats during the time he lived there. Many of the cats are
polydactyl (they have extra toes). Hemingway was given a
polydactyl cat by a ship's captain and many of the present day cats are
descendants of that first one. You can read more about the cats and Hemingway's home here:
