October 18 Monday 2010 drive to Key West Florida

We stop at what we thought was a visitors center and get talked into renting a cottage at a discount rental center right in town off Duval street. When we get there we are impressed. We have a 2 bedroom (queen size)with kitchen, living room,porch and private patio. Also a private garden with a hot tub all for $125 each. Simonton Court is an historic Inn with cottages. This also includes breakfast . After a drink on our porch we go for dinner recommended by the desk at Alonzo's where it's half off for appetizers and cocktails. Between 4-6:30. That really works for us. Then we go for a walk to Mallory square. We come home exhausted. Oh yes our parking is free too. What a deal. The place was a old cigar factory and the cottages were for the workers. the large pool was a citron for holding rain water. The place is surrounded by gardens and also has a locked gate in the evening.
