We are still in the Key West area but didn't feel the need to walk around downtown Key West again. We took the on-demand bus from our campground to Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. We had a short tour - I think it was the guide's first day, so it wasn't particularly good. We did get a short walk in on the grounds and ate lunch on the beach. One person was swimming, but it was pretty chilly out.  The Key West Eco Discovery Center is close by, but it was closed today. From there we ended up at the Key West Garden Club at West Martello Tower. It was a small garden but a nice oasis inside the city. We weren't able to get the on-call bus to pick us up, so we ended up taking an Uber back to the campground. Unfortunately, my hip hurt at night, so I didn't get to sleep until after midnight, and I needed to wake up at 5am the next morning. Ugh.
