day 11

Emily's Toybox rocked!

With that said, last night was great. They didn't do their regular playlist and they didn't really do any of their songs. But it was still awesome. The bar was pretty cool too. No cover charge which is always nice.

Today was way better than yesterday. We once again slept in and didn't really leave the house until about noon. We took the bike into Key West, parked it on the main drag and walked through some shops that I had seen yesterday and wanted to buy things at. After we were done shopping we went to find whatever else we could find. We went through a pirate museum, which was cool. They had lots of real pirate stuff, like an actual flag from the Jolly Roger and some items recovered from Blackbeard's ship. There was also a gift shop where I got a book about Anne Bonnie one of the few female pirates. We also went to a Wreckers Museum. This museum was another part of the Key's history. After the war of 1812 the islands were used as a port for the US. And because of the weather and coral reefs there were a lot of ship wrecks. The people who went out to save the ships and cargo were called wreckers. The museum we walked through had a lot of artifacts recovered from on of the most famous wrecks (of which I can't remember the name of the ship). It was quite funny to see G's name listed as one of the wreckers who worked that particular wreck. There was also a look out from the top of the museum which you could climb. At the top you could look out over the entire area and see the whole island. It was very cool. And of course I forgot my camera. G took some pics with his phone, so we shall see how those turn out.
After the museum we met Wade the drummer for ETB for dinner. He took us to an unbelievably good restaurant where he had eaten many times before. He made a few recommendations to me, one of which was grouper stuffed with crab. YUM! We all sat and talked for a while.
After dinner we came back to the room to rest up before going out to see ETB again. Once again the boy's were great. It was a little more crowded tonight, crowded with drunks and crazy people. It was definitely fun to watch.
Now I'm off to sleep, we have an 8 hour drive tomorrow to get back to Orlando.
