In Case You Were Wondering...

Yes, the water really is a beautiful shade of blue in Key West, although the woman at the information center told me that most people don't really go to the beaches. I guess if you go to Key West you just swim in your hotel's pool. Weenjoyed our beach time, though it was a bit cold to swim so we just ate breakfast and did crafts along the coastline, but it was lovely to stare at nevertheless. And we walked ALL over the place. We saw the southernmost point, the sunset celebration, Hemingway's house (from the outside), Duval street, wonderful french pastries, lots of cuban cafes, bananas growing on trees (and the banana flower is crazy looking by the way), palm trees (I LOVE palm trees), coconuts, and a surprising number of van-dwellers just like us. And we ate some Key Lime Pie, of course. And bought a whole bag of Key Limes to put in our Coronas. They are tart! but delicious too.
