| 7 mile bridge to Key West |
After picking up our bus at Car Safe… a secure car storage place in Miami that is run by Andrew and his lovely wife Victoria. They are a wonderful couple and were very gracious to us…even giving us a refund (which we weren’t expecting) after we returned early from our trip. If you are looking for a great place to keep your vehicle safe while touring the local islands, check them out!....we are off to the Florida Keys.
Ok….hey where are the sandy beaches and Tiki huts? The drive down to through the keys was wonderful, miles of bridges through ocean waters. Pelicans flying along keeping you company. Once we got down to Key West…with the beach boys song blaring in my head…Key Largo, Montego, baby why don’t we go… no sandy beaches…just rocking shores. Not what we had envisioned. Very much a party town. We hung out for the night and then headed back up. Stopping for lunch in Key Largo…Mark and I decided to try some local fare so bring on the tenderized alligator and dolphin…ok before you freak out…which I was doing when I saw it on the menu in a variety of dishes, our waitress came over to explain the difference between cute little Flipper (which is illegal to catch and holds a 12 year prison sentence) and the Mahi Mahi (as it is called in Hawaii)…not at all the same thing…phew! Ok give me the dolphin…still feeling somewhat apprehensive!...But yum! The Alligator wasn’t bad either…tasted like dark meat turkey…no not chicken!! But close! After a good lunch we headed for the Everglades to see if we could see any live alligators.
