how could i forget one of the most important stops on our trip to florida?? in islamorada the bass pro shop's world wide sportsman is a 'must see. for anybody who fishes, it is mecca. it's a very attractive store, actually, and smack dab in the middle of the building sits the "pilar",,ernest hemmingway's boat from his time in florida. it's an awesome boat, complete with the fighting chair, and a lot of pics and info inside the cabin. not sure if this boat is the original, or a sister to the original. but it's a real boat, and very impressive. the store is filled with any sort of fishing gear and tackle that one person could imagine, along with shirts, shorts, pants, coats, hats, shoes, jewelry, cooking accessories (gotta have something to prepare one's catch with), and more that i am too tired to mention. we ate lunch in the "zane grey lounge" upstairs, overlooking the lovely turquoise water.
