We arrived today in Key West. We flew into Fort Lauderdale last night and spent the night in Miami. This morning, after driving the 113-mile, 42-bridge "ocean-skimming highway that tethers 51 of the 822 Florida keys to the mainland", we arrived in Key West, the southernmost point of the continental United States.
And after checking in to our hotel, we quickly made our way downtown.
After walking around, bopping into shops, all unique and charming and one-of-a-kind, we made our way to Mallory Square, where we had heard was THE place to watch the sunset. And, as you can see from the throng gathered, we're not the only ones who heard that!
And it didn't disappoint.
Verdict: I'm undecided. The friend I'm with says it's cool, but not a "must do." She says "there's nothing amazing; it's not like Hawaii." But so far, I'm really digging it. I like the vibe. I like the relaxed atmosphere, the friendly people, the yummy restaurants and the water. We're here for three nights, so I'm looking forward to exploring as much as I can.
