Today we spent the day walking Duval St end to end, exploring side streets, and watching the speed boats do test runs in the harbor. To escape the heat, we spent the afternoon at the bar, and after feasting on all sorts of small plates at The Boathouse, sampled some of the World of Beer’s many offerings before returning to the hotel and hitting the hot tub with our new friend Alan.
