So the rain finally stops. Saturday dawns hot and humid. Don and I are early risers. The boy, not so much. We set out in the morning and find the Cuban Coffee Queen stand located in an alley off of Duval Street just a couple of blocks from our hotel. We order some cafe con leche and some breakfast sandwiches made fresh on Cuban bread.
The Cuban Coffee Queen is a guy with dreads.
It’s back to our room to roust the boy. We plan to tour the lighthouse today, log some pool time and finally get to see what all the fuss is about down at Mallory Square since we should get to see a sunset this evening.
Note sleeping posture totally across bed with head on nightstand.
We spend a lot of time walking around and just enjoying the day. Damian is not a fan of heights and needs a lot of coaxing to climb to the top of the lighthouse and walk around the little platform at the top.
Reluctant participant
His bravery is rewarded with some pretty cool views.
A small museum is also found on the grounds and there’s some interesting landscaping with trees and statuary.

Crazy trees
A 2:1 decision is made to abandon lunch plans in favor of consuming wanton fat and calories in a very delicious form:
Amazingly delicious!
It’s time for some sunbathing for me and swimming for Damian & Don. There is a bar poolside and this affords us some people watching opportunity as does the view from the roof looking down onto the street. Showers are followed by a little siesta and then it’s off to Mallory Square. Tonight we aren’t disappointed.
More crowded tonight.
