We went to the Hemingway House and Museum yesterday. Interesting but the tour guide we had was not the greatest. The entrance suggested to allow 4 hours for the tour and an hour and a half was plenty. It's not that big a place. Best part was Hemingway's study where he did his writing. His typewriter was there and desk, chair etc. All the furnishings were very cool. I started sneezing half way through the tour and runny nose. Then the tour guide talked about the 50 plus 6 toed cats on the complex. I hate cats! Had lunch and a very good IPA at Sloppy Joe's, a bar owned by one of Hemingway's fishing buddies, as I understand it. Then a bike ride to the grocery store, and back to the boat for afternoon chores. Today is a work day, so I won't get much else done, then in the morning will exit Key West, I think on the gulf side for 50 miles or so, slowly looking at the inside keys where I hope there will be some snorkeling and fish.
