On Wed, Feb 2nd, we celebrated our Third Wedding Anniversary by driving down the Florida Keys.
Route One begins in Key West and travels up the East Cost, 137 miles to Miami, and northward.
It was about a 3 hour drive down to Key West, over many islands and bridges, through small towns and resort areas. Locations on the map are listed by Mile Markers.
About another mile south of this sign, we visited the monument that marks the southern most point of the USA, east coast. Here we're closer to Cuba than to Miami!
There was a cruise ship in port (Bernie & I had been there on a Western Caribbean Cruise a few years back), so the town was busy with tourists. But that's what this point of land loves! We drove through the Historic and shopping districts, the pier area and met a few very colorful people.
Then we headed back north, stopping in Islamorada Key for a seafood buffet dinner and a moonlight stroll on the beach. A lovely way to celebrate a very special day!
