As always, Key West was an interesting visit. A woman asked me if my boobs were real and a guy asked me if I spoke English after he asked me if I would take his picture and I said yes.
I'm not sure what the statues were supposed to represent. These people were from older times and drinking wine.
The statue looked pretty real. I doubt people walking by even tknew it was a statue.

The Custom House Museum was such a cool building. This small sign around the side told the history. The USS Maine and Spanish-American War was even brought up later when we went to Cuba.
It's in front of the Custom House Museum in advance of a year-long exhibit celebrating the centennial of the Navy’s aviation presence on Key West.

We saw this statue in Civitaveccia. It was called "Unconditional Surrender." The sculptor said because of the criticism of people who view it as a drunken sailor grabbing an unwilling woman in public, he changed the name to "Embrace of Peace."

Key West! If you look at the map, this is the craziest itinerary. We left Floriday, made 2 stops in Mexico and then back to Florida. Anyway, we started off the morning really early. They woke up the entire ship at 7am to go through customs on the ship regardess if we were getting off the ship or not. We had to see the customs officials. It was a huge pain!
