Our first port of call was Key West, Florida. We didn't arrive until after lunch, but we have been to Key West before, so we were just doing a walk-about anyway. Very nice warm, sunny weather. We wandered up and down Duval Street, stopped in for beer and a bite of Key Lime Pie, found a few corners we hadn't seen before, and bought a couple of $5 shirts. Then we headed back to our ship on the Conch Train. We were docked at a naval base, so we had to be escorted across the base, and were forbidden to take pictures. Guess they don't want the enemy to know they have a tennis court. A nice afternoon for our last few steps on land before 7 days at sea.

Rooster and chickens are protected here. Surprisingly, there weren't all that many, but they were colorful (and tame).
The big church in town.
