"All the way to Florida and down to Key West"

Remember that song....we drove 2500 miles all the way to Florida to have a good time down in Key West...in fact they were singing that song in the bar and we thought, hey that's us...we DID come 2500 miles.  And let me say that we had a great time in Key West.  It is an amazingly fun place. Key West is the most southern point in the States and is only 90 miles from Cuba.  Among other things we toured a museum dedicated to the early economy based on salvaging old wrecks, as well as Hemmingway's estate.  They were also having a festival which included bed races down the main drag (and some were in drag).  Bev had a margaretta in Jimmy Buffet's Margarettaville amidst all the parrot heads. Dave liked the girls dancing on the bar at Coyote Ugly.  Duval has 117 bars in about 12 short blocks....need I add that we really enjoyed ourselves.  There are laws prohibiting the killing of wildlife so the town is full of wild chickens/cocks (released when cock fighting was banned), cats with 6 toes descended from Hemingway's cat and wild iguanas. People rent scooters and they are wheezing about everywhere.  We walked as we needed a break from 2-wheeled vehicles.
