World Wide Sportsman Store

Before driving back home to Boca after checking out of the hotel and having breakfast, we went to check out the World Wide Sportsman Store in Islamorada. It turned out to be quite the attraction and we wound up spending about 3-4 hours there!

Where else can you pose in front of a giant marlin....
and climb inside the real boat that Ernest Hemingway owned...including lots of vintage photos including the REAL old man and the sea:
There was a cool giant fish tank:

We had lunch in the Zane Grey lounge/cafe on the 2nd floor - very cool lounge filled with amazing memoralbia and it reminded me of the very manly Presidential lounge at Cheeca Lounge (no photos of the ZG lounge). Then enjoying the gorgeous scenery overlooking the bay at the outside part of the Zane Grey cafe. see all the little islands- there are many hundreds like that all over the keys- this is what makes the boating exploration possibilities endless:
