We took a day to explore Key West (which was mobbed with people due to the holidays and the cruise ship). On a previous trip, we'd done Duval Street , seen the Hemingway look-alikes while eating lunch at
Sloppy Joe's, visited the
Hemingway Home, taken the tourist picture at the marker for the
Southernmost Point, seen the sunset celebration and performers at
Mallory Square. I do regret that we still have not done the
Conch Tour train. Some day!
To escape the crowds, this day we headed to
Fort Zachary Taylor State Park where the crowds were a bit lighter.

| There is a snorkel area at the state park |
 |
| It was choppy and murky, so no snorkeling this day |
 |
| Shaded picnic area |
 |
| Cruise ship at port in the distance |
 |
| Boats and jet skis fly by, so don't venture out of the swim area |
 |
| Okay, I see the lady and the cat, but what is that uhhh....castle? |

| Fencing around the naval base property |
 |
| I heard this is a great spot for sunset photos, but we wanted to get home before dark |
