Key West: Day 5

The internet's back. Thank god. The internet was down for most of yesterday and most of today. We got home, and it was fixed. Now I have to update for yesterday.

So Sophie and I woke up around 10 and I had a bowl of strawberries for breakfast. (By now, you should realize that I dislike most breakfast foods.) We planned to go to Fort Zach for a bit, so we got dressed and biked out. It was extremely beautiful:

We kept walking down the trail, and stopped for a bite to eat.

Sophie and I both had chicken sandwiches. 

Since I can't really explain the beauty of the place, I'll just insert more pictures, right, HERE:

Then we went to the actual fort:

Since Bammy had already seen it many times before, and Sophie didn't really want to go up, I went up alone. 

Then we biked back home. Bammy suggested that we engage in some "retail therapy" AKA SHOPPING. So, we drove down to Duval Street (the nicer side of it) and looked around. We went into some cool stores:

We spent the day searching for gifts for our families. 

We also met a chicken whose eggs had hatched the morning before. It was so cute, and there was one little chick who would peek its head out from underneath its mother. This chicken was SITTING on eight chicks:

We went into an awesome soap store:

And then we went into an art gallery, which had a lot of super cool stuff.

Bammy and I were on a hunt to get my dad something, and we both freaked out when we saw this.

(We didn't get it for him, don't worry)

Bammy then had to go drop Boppa off at the library where he volunteers, and so she left Sophie and I on Duval Street to finish up. That night, Bammy brought us to her friends' house. She breeds and raises racehorses and there was a race going on that we all went to watch. 

The horses' name on TV was Exit Stage Left and he ended up finishing second, which is NOT bad at all. It was extremely impressive. I met some very nice people who seem to have a lot of fun down here in Key West. 

By then, it was around 7 and we picked Boppa up from the library and went to an Italian restaurant. And I just will not stop with my pasta obsession, will I?

It was so good.

After that, Sophie and I were DETERMINED to see the drag queens. So we drove down Duval Street and got out while Boppa drove around the block a few times. I'm not going to put any pictures up, but we did get some pretty good ones. They were so nice and extremely glamorous. One was named Candy, and there was also one named Charlize. If I quote Charlize correctly, she said, "You know, like Charlize Theron? But I don't got that bitch's money." 

I laughed.

Anyways, we went home and Sophie and I turned in somewhat early because we had been up pretty late the nights before.
