I'm not going to lie to you, it's pretty hot in Key West even in September. It's still in the mid 80's to low 90's most days. We always try to stay inside somewhere in the middle of the day. But, this was a walking vacation, so we were caught out in the mid day swelter a few times. There is only one way to stave off the heat and that is eating key lime sherbet.
It is better than water to cool you down and refresh. There are two main places we got the heavenly stuff, the conch train depot at the corner of Duval and Front streets downtown and the Island Ice Cream Shop on the harbor walk.(They call it sorbet at the ice cream shop. I don't know the difference, they taste the same to me) They were about $8 for two at both places. We tried some ice cream at the Front street ice cream shop one day and it just wasn't the same.
Other than our sherbet fix we didn't snack all that much. Once in awhile we would get something like a crab dip at Schooner Wharf when we hung around late on the upper deck lazing around and listening to the music and enjoying a couple of brews. That cost us $22 with beer and tip. One kinda crazy late night we grabbed a couple of slices of too chocolatey chocolate cake at Harpoon Harry's and took them back to the room. Man we were sorry for that. A real intestinal battle was fought in both of us that night. (D'oh!)
The last night in the Keys calls for our long standing tradition, Key lime pie while watching the sunset.
This night it was Schooner Wharf's upper deck . Two pieces of pie, a Landshark, and a Margarita (it is a requirement when you are in Margaritaville) cost us $30 with tip. (I was tipping big, it was the last night and Eric was a good friendly guy even though he said he never wanted to go back to Illinois. He had found his home here). Schooner Wharf's Key Lime pie is a little creamier than Turtle Kraals', but they are equally good.
