December 5-6: Key West

We drove from Daytona down to Key West (quite a distance); not sure when we'll get back to Florida, so we thought we should check out the keys while we can!  We enjoyed most of the local attractions (Hemingway house, Sloppy Joes where Hemingway hung out, Mallory Square for all the street performers, walk around Duval Street, visit the "Southernmost Point") but the weather was very cold and rough, so snorkeling wasn't a good option (though we had brought all our equipment along!)...

We did not take the trip to Dry Tortugas National Park, though someday I hope we get the chance! The boat or plane trip is quite expensive, so we would need to make it worth our while and stay for a couple of nights at least.

to Key West - 85+ miles



The Christmas lights were fabulous!
