What a day! I started out by going for a fast walk through residential streets, finally reaching the White Street Pier, a very long concrete construction reaching out into the Atlantic Ocean. At the start there is a memorial to Aids victims. What I haven't told you is that this town is the gay capital of the US! When I told Ian that this week is Gay Pride Week here, he went quiet, then a bit red in the face before exclaiming "**$##!! pootfas!"
Came back to the motel and Ian and I walked to Ernest Hemmingway's house. We had a look through and around the gardens and patted the cats. The cats are all supposed to be descendants of Ernest Hemmingway's cat and have an unusual feature in that they have an additional toe. You will be able to see this in the photo of the black and white cat.

From here we walked along Duval Street and found Caroline's where we had lunch before going on to Captain Tony's. Had a look around Mallory Square then back to Sloppy Joes where a Marlin on the wall was caught by Ernest Hemmingway. There is live entertainment in all the bars and all of the entertainers are good.
We headed in the direction of the motel via Willie T's. Came across a gay parade which was just finishing. Saw the biggest Dorothy ever but missed getting a photo.
