We started the day by walking to the Truman Annex Park. Michel and Nancy had never been there, and truthfully, most people who visit Key West don’t visit there. It’s at the very end of the Truman Annex and you have to know where it is and how to get there.
I visited there the last time I was here and was thrilled to get to go aboard the CGC Ingham, commissioned in 1936 and decommissioned in 1988 – the longest serving vessel in the Coast Guard and the only Coast Guard ship to sink a U-boat in WWII.
The ship has become a museum, but even better, the day the last sailor walked off the ship, nothing was changed. It’s like walking through a time warp back to 1988 with clothes still handing in the laundry and the table set in the ward room for the officers.
I wasn’t sure Nancy and Michel would like to tour the ship but they were game. I was surprised they enjoyed it so much. They also were kind enough to let me entertain them with my Coast Guard stories and explain about the parts of the ship I knew. I never served on the Ingham but I did serve on the CGC Reliance out of Corpus Christi, Texas.
After our tour, we sat in the shade in the park and watched kids play in the really nice water fountain in the park. The kids had a ball. Key West has a lot to be proud of in that park.
We walked back to Old Town and had lunch at Kelly’s Landing – previously owned by Kelly McGillis of Top Gun fame. I’ve actually eaten in the restaurant before when she was serving people and greeting tourists. I don’t know who owns it now but it’s still a nice place for lunch or dinner.

Erectile dysfunction, or ED, is commonly known female viagra samples as impotence.I left Nancy and Michel and headed back to the guest house for a nap, a swim, and to get ready for cocktails and dinner.
About the clammy sheets. Apparently, the a/c in the room had been set incorrectly and was not removing the humidity. The staff was very accommodating and came right up and readjusted the a/c. I also requested they change the sheets which they did. Later, after the sheets had been changed, they came back to the room and asked if everything was OK. That’s great staff work for the guest house!
Michel made reservations for us at Bagatelle on Duval for 6:30pm . We met at Chart Room Bar at the Pier House for cocktails at 5:30. The Chart Room is like a dive bar in Fort Lauderdale. Strange because Pier House is an exclusive hotel and spa. Anyway, Jimmy Buffet used to hang out there.
We walked to Bagatelle and had dinner. Michel wanted to head to Mallory Square but it looked like rain and the sun had already set. We plan to do that on Sunday.
Nancy and Michel plan to golf tomorrow and I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10:30 am at Ocean Wellness on Simonton St.
