Had fresh fruit on the beach in the previous photo for breakfast in key largo. Rode the short 1.5 hour drive on the over seas highway to key west. It was a nice drive with nothing but the sea and blue skies on either side and the occasional island. Checked into to a B and B in key west early, parked the bike and explored by foot the whole day. Its hot here, but if I am heading towards texas I guess I better get used to it.
Walked the main strip, Duval St. from end to end, looked in some shops, had some food, swam at the beach, swam at the pool at the B and B, had some more food, stopped at sloppy joe's, walked the neighborhood, stood at the southern most point in the US, had some key lime pie at the pie factory (still have had better), saw mile marker 0 of us1, went to bed.
That about sums it up, nice town but a little too touristy for me. Probably a lot cooler in the 30's, since all the shops are trying to be nostalgic. Now its mostly families, couples between 29-39 and retirees. If I was coming to the keys for a longer period, I would probably just go as far as marathon and make an afternoon trip out of key west.
