Flowers with Wings

Day 3's adventure consisted of a visit to the local butterfly house. Now. As most of you know, I have a pretty serious, and yes, I know, irrational fear of butterflies. I told the group I'd try it, and the man that ran the place told me to just remember they are like "flowers with wings."


Flowers sure as heck don't fly at your head! Some of these butterflies were the size of birds! Needless to say, I got out of there as soon as I could. Absolutely terrifying, but the rest of the group seemed to like it.

After lunch, we were let loose on the town of Key West! My freetime including soaking in some Ray's on the beach and taking a dip in the Straits of Florida and then wandering down Duval Street. I ate a lot of the nefarious key lime pie...some on a stick, some not, and a batch of conch fritters-- and tried (in vain) to catch another sunset. The clouds along the horizon decided it wasn't going to happen.

I ended the evening with a delicious Cuban sandwich outdoors with some friendly looking roosters at my feet.
