Key West

3/20/09 , the 1st day of SPRING; sunny and we headed south to Key West . We are @ the Jolly Roger camp grounds on the Grassey Key , about 58 miles north of Key West. Early start so traffic was light - 7 mile bridge is something else to travel over ; Alantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. Took a 90min. Trolley tour of the Key so we could get our bearings, and what we wanted to visit later in the day. Walked the length of Duval St. - harbor to the buoy that marks the “southern most point of the continental USA “ While on Duval St. we found “Margaretaville “ and of course had to go in and have a Margarete lunch - it’s 5 o’ clock somewhere !! No, Jimmy did not show up while we were there - but I guess we are now both parrot heads ?? Visited the Whalen gallery, but didn’t buy anything . While touring in the AM there was a cruise ship in, but she left around noon time . Then there were the young persons in the streets and bars, as it was Spring Break and the colleges had sent their representatives south to try out different forms of “undress “ !! Our evening suppa was spent on the upper level of the “Rum Barrel “ overlooking Front St - YES of course we had samples of rum drinks !! We saw the sunset from their balcony , and then it was back up the road from “zero “ Rte 1 north - did not get a picture of this sign has it had already been stolen on Spring Break . The city is very historic and beautiful buildings that have been restored .
We have been at this campsite for 3 days and now time to move on - north and up the west coast of FL . We’re rolling 2 $ s
