Fun in the Sun

I figured today was a good day to visit some old Navy and Coast Guard Ships. Not that I wouldn't have visited them anyway, but today was a good day for that.

I can see Cuba from here !!!

First thing this morning I took a walk to the nearest scooter rental store. Best thing I ever did. I had a blast all day ridding all over the island on that thing. One of my first stops was to the Southern Most point in the Continental United States.

Cat Drinking Fountain

Then I made a stop at the Hemingway Estate. It's a beautiful House, the grounds are like a jungle with paths weaving their way around to different sitting areas. Of course there are cats and cat Houses everywhere (or should I say Houses for the cats). One of the funnier stories about the property is the drinking fountain for the cats. Someone was remodeling an old bar in the area and Hemingway was able to obtain one of the old urinals from the men’s room. So he laid it down and used it for a drinking fountain for the cats. Hemingway’s wife hated this; so she purchased an Italian Vase and some tile to spruced it up a bit. (You had to know I would find a way to include a picture of a bathroom fixture somehow)

Linguine Pescatore

For Dinner I went Italian, Linguine Pescatore. Basically it’s Shrimp, Scallops, Clams, Muscles, calamari, and fish in a spicy tomato broth and of course, Linguine. It was all excellent except the Calamari was very chewy.

Where the road begins

Of course every road has a beginning, this is the beginning of Rout 1. Of course I will be heading back North on that road tomorrow.
