Daisy the Duck and lobster

At first sight Daisy might not have anything to do with lobster but it was the name we picked at Key Fisheries (Key Marathon, Florida Keys) to be shouted through the restaurant's megaphone once our order was ready. You see, it's easier to shout a well-known comic book character than boring or unpronounceable surnames. A-Z-I-N-H-E-I-R-A, say what? The restaurant itself is at the harbour, so some customers anchor their boats just beside it and come to make an order. We tried the Reuben Lobster - it was heavy in our stomachs - full of carbs (wrapped in big slices of bread) and fat (with cheese dripping from it and fries as side-dish) - but heaven in our hearts. That's the way an American meal at the waterfront should feel like, a marathon-size feast. We dragged ourselves back to our Dodge and drove south. We engaged in a monologue with the cutest bambies in sidewalks at Key Deer. We continued our tarmac adventure and finally reached Key West to discover its hidden treasure: Key Lime Pie! Where were you all this time?  Will we ever meet again?
