A Visit to the Keys


Saturday was a thoroughly enjoyable day, heading South on US1 as far as we could go - to the Keys.

Once your past Homestead, and you hit the first Key, the laid-back ease of this neck of the woods hits you.
Sarah and I, together with friends Jess and James fox initially went South for a quick snorkelling expedition. However, life's all about surprises and we ended up in Key West, as close as you can get to Cuba, 90 miles away.

Key West reminds somewhat of St. Augustine, with the old historic buildings, sites and sounds. Had lunch in the famous Sloppy Joe's restaurant and stopped for Key Lime Pie.

We'll definitely be back, it's a tourism mecka and the diving, we heard, is fantastic.
