Key West

Uncle Bill and Aunt Laurie came to visit and stay on the boat with us. While they were here, we traveled to Key West so they could visit some friends from US Airways. One of the venues there was this theater/museum. If you look closely, you may be able to see a film crew setting up a shot in front of the building. Truman's summer White House, Hemingway's home, Fort Zachary Taylor, and all the haunts of the rich and famous are here. Of course, we went to Sloppy Joe's Bar and to Jimmy Buffets's bar-Margaritaville.

Key West is the southernmost city on the U.S. mainland and this is the point identified as the southernmost. There are many characters living here and most of them make a living having their pictures taken by tourists. Large cruise ships come in here and fill the streets with their passengers. We couldn't imagine living here as a permanent resident. The Mile Zero marker of the famous U.S. Route 1 is found here. We enjoyed walking around the streets of this unique American outpost.
