Island of Bones, Cayo Hueso or Key West

There were a few more things we wanted to do in Key West so we returned Wednesday. President Harry Truman used a home on the old Navy submarine base in Key West as the summer white house, he loved this place and used it frequently. The rooms and furniture have been kept as the
Truman's used it. It is a museum today and open to the public. We enjoyed the guided tour of the home.

All through out Key West you hear roosters crowing, they are everywhere and most quite beautiful, in fact you see them in many of the other keys. They seem to fend for themselves and are not bashful about wandering around with people.

After exhausting ourselves walking all over we drove to the old Cuban part of town to a family restaurant, the deep fried plantains are amazingly sweet and good. I see plantains at our local stores, guess I'll have to try making some.

Believe these roosters think they own the town
