Last day in Key West

I did visit Art and History Museum, which introduced among other things Ernest Hemingways life in Key West and Havanna, Treasure Museum with real cold and silver coins and other specific treasures worth of hundreds of millions dollars excavated from Spanish galleon, and Pirate Museum. I then after this culture shock went to Tony's Saloon, opened originally 1933 by Tony Tarracino. This barkeeper to be later a most popular man in town and a mayor of Key West, was a close friend of Hemingway, Tennessee Williams and Humphrey Bogart. I met him there and was photografed with him. And I must say that Tony, this 90 years old ladies man was absolutely a charming character.
