Picked up Sue & Shaun, our Fernie friends and then had great drive down with the Overseas highway yesterday. Arrived in Key west just in time to catch the sunset!
Walked around key west soaking up the history and beautiful architecture.
There is a lot to see at the southern most tip of North America. Christmas is big here, lots of decorations using pine bow garland but I haven’t seen any pine trees so it must just be tradition. Lots of churches too, quite a few have been repurposed though, like the one above. We did make a little faux pas at the Southernmost Point. We walked up, waited till the people there took their picture then we took our sand left. It was only then that we noticed the line up down the street waiting to take pictures. OOPS! Happened to watch a funeral as well. All the streets blocked off to the church and police everywhere. It was the wife of some newly elected politician so lots of pomp and security. It was reminiscent of a New Orleans funeral only fewer bands. Last day in the Keys then onto the boat tomorrow!
Beautiful!!
