点评:My wife and I were in Key West on a cruise and wanted to do something out of the ordinary, rather than water activities or shopping, so we decided to visit the Fort East Martello Museum mainly to see Robert the Doll. I had the "brilliant" idea to walk to the museum so that we could see different parts of Key West. Just over 4 miles later we arrived at the Museum and were a bit tired out (no I don't recommend walking and we took an Uber back to the port area). The museum itself is nothing special and contains only some exhibits about varying aspects of Key West history. The main attraction of course was Robert the Doll. I had heard so much about Robert that it was really interesting to see him "in person". We asked his permission to take some photos and complimented him on how well he looked in the photos. I even wrote on the chalkboard within the exhibit where visitors can leave a message for Robert, that my wife and I had walked 4 miles just to see him. The only thing we failed to do (I read about this later) was to say "goodbye" to him, so hopefully Robert wasn't offended about that. When we got back to our ship, I texted an employee who is a big fan of Robert that, while I was respectful to him, that I had told him she had been trash-talking him (I was just joking about that - I never did say anything to Robert like that). Well, later on in the shower, I slipped and fell, which never happens. Coincidence.....or not? Overall it was a fun experience and definately was the highlight of our trip. Again, the only real reason to see the museum is to see Robert the Doll, unless you are a hard-core Key West history buff.
翻译:我和妻子在基韦斯特乘游轮,想做一些与众不同的事情,而不是水上活动或购物,所以我们决定参观东马特洛堡博物馆,主要是为了看看罗伯特娃娃。我有一个“绝妙”的主意,步行去博物馆,这样我们就可以看到基韦斯特的不同部分。走了 4 英里多一点,我们到达了博物馆,有点累了(不,我不建议步行,我们乘 Uber 回到港口区)。博物馆本身没什么特别的,只包含一些关于基韦斯特历史各个方面的展品。主要景点当然是罗伯特娃娃。我听说过很多关于罗伯特的事情,所以“亲眼”见到他真的很有趣。我们征求他的同意拍了一些照片,并称赞他在照片中看起来很漂亮。我甚至在展览中的黑板上写了留言给罗伯特,我和妻子走了 4 英里就是为了见他。我们唯一没有做的事情(我后来读到过)就是对他说“再见”,所以希望罗伯特不会因此生气。当我们回到船上时,我给一位非常喜爱罗伯特的员工发短信,说虽然我很尊重他,但我告诉过他她一直在说他的坏话(我只是开玩笑——我从来没有对罗伯特说过那样的话)。好吧,后来在淋浴时,我滑倒了,这是从未发生过的。巧合......还是不是?总的来说,这是一次有趣的经历,绝对是我们旅行的亮点。再说一次,参观博物馆的唯一真正原因是看罗伯特娃娃,除非你是基韦斯特历史的铁杆爱好者。
