A very TINY nibble of Key West
* 2008-05-14 - 1:24 p.m. *
While we were in Key West, all ten of us decided to do an excursion together. We had a choice between snorkeling, a ghost tour or the Taste of Key West tour. Since all of us are major food and wine snobs, we decided to do the taste tour. Well�we didn�t all decide�Actually Angela and Shane decided and we kind of included Jay and Amber with out them really knowing about it. Not that I�m going to say I�m always right, but I kept telling everyone that they didn�t want to sign up for excursions, but being the smallest person in a group is kind of a disadvantage. I ended up just standing off to the side while all the alpha males tried to get a hold of Amber and Jay. (I tell you what *rolls eyes*, it�s not easy hanging in a group of strong personalities. Mine included.) So it�s the day of the excursion and the tour guide was 15 minutes late. Then we go do our first stop. Conch fritters�.YUM!!!! The best thing I�ve ever tasted. It may have had something to do with the fact that I was STARVING. I had one. It was about an inch in diameter. �We can�t have more????� �Nope, one per guest.� DAGH!!! One hour later we made it to our next stop. Yet again a tiny sample of heaven. Itty bitty sample. The woman would not shut up. She had a lot of historical knowledge of the place but she had no focus. She�d start talking about one thing and then lose her thought and move on to the next. �Someone must be on drugs.� I think It was Shane or Mike that said that. �No, I think someone forgot to TAKE their drugs.� I�m more then sure that was Amber�s statement. I found myself walking on and trying to coax the tour guide to follow. *hands clapping* �Come on. Come on. That�s a good girl!� We were on the second hour and we made it to the third place. We were STARVING and dehydrated. We ended up at a hot sauce bar. I was excited about it but by this point everyone just wanted to leave. There were 2 more stops!!!!!! Half the tour slipped away (I heard later from the few that stayed that it lasted another 2 hours). Mike and I went back to the boat and ordered room service. I never tasted a burger that was as fantastic as the one I ordered. We then had a little dessert and then a little more dessert (if you know what I mean) *wink*.
