The weather was more cooperative on our first full day in Key West. As is often the case, we were up and about before most places were open - including the bike shop where we wanted to rent our transportation for the weekend.
One of these days, David and I will travel the entire length of US 1 from Key West to Fort Kent, ME...or maybe from Maine to Key West.
Once the bike shop opened, we rented one bicycle and one tricycle. I loved riding this thing! We hopped on them and headed to the beach.
Last time we were here, we'd talked about how nice it would be to have our hammocks at the beach. Little did we know that it would be so soon! Our hammocks pack to a pretty small size, and we were so glad to have them. I'm not sure there's anything better than swaying in the breeze at the beach.
The clouds hung around, but the rain stayed away, so we were able to enjoy the sunset celebration . This dog did an amazing job of walking on two tight ropes...while wearing shorts. Only in Key West!
David had asked our cab driver from the airport about good Cuban food and he recommended a restaurant we hadn't tried before called El Siboney. It is well off the beaten path in a residential area, but we had a good time pedaling our way to dinner.
It was delicious, plentiful, and one of the most reasonably priced meals we've had in Key West. This is David's Siboney Steak with yellow rices, black beans, and fried plantains. Just looking at this picture makes me hungry again!
**No, my bike wasn't actually red. Nor was it a bike, but that's a line from a Jimmy Buffett song that I'm pretty sure is written about Key West.
