Just cruisin'

We just got back from 2 weeks in Florida and the Western Caribbean. We had a great time with our friends, Tom and Jane, and Barry and LuAnne. We enjoyed the weather, the beaches and the sights. I'll try to get some pictures going...

We spent a day at Key West.. a long day's drive from Miami, but interesting. The "thing" to do there is go to the pier and watch the sunset. Lots of people there with the same idea, but no sun. It was foggy so no sunset to view.Yup, it was cool. Dad was taking my picture and as he did I said we needed to get a picture of the Key West Sunset. A guy walking by did a double take- looked at us, then at the horizon, then had a little chuckle at us- obviously tourists


We went to the Everglades for part of a day too. We saw a couple of Alligators in the wild and road an airboat- with about 25 other people- so it was a big one- not one of those small quick ones. But this one has enough power to knock a person over if they're in the airwash.
These were big guys- over twice as big as the ones we saw in the wild. We also saw lots of different birds, but luckily no snakes, but there are lots of poisonous ones that live out there.


We went to South Beach one day and enjoyed the Art Deco district as well as the beach. The weather was cool again, and it poured rain for a bit, but still pretty nice. We ate lunch outside at the Carlyle. The Food Network was having their FoodFest right on the beach- huge tents set up- but it hadn't started yet ( and tickets were $1350)- so we didn't go.
