Restaurants
Very disappointed in a few restaurants in The keys.....Until Bob found Hideawy Cafe.....no sign or advertisements....Bob found on internet review site...in a dumpy old 1950s hotel....but as fabulous...we went twice in 3 days....and the lst time got a whole duck to go to use at home the next night......go if in the area...Marathon FL
Dry Tortugas NM
Dry Tortuga National Monument....Most difficult NPNM to get to....hour boat ride.... Lovely day with some snorkeling....ROUGH ride back....
More key West
Went to Key West for a day....love walking the neighborhoods there....went to Truman House, Hemingway's house and Fischer Museum....but the traffic and parking were horrendous!!
Turtle Rehab
Wonderful non-profit group in Marathon in the Keys ...they rescue turtles and rehabilitate them. Most are released back into the wild! My friend Jimmy Carter (Remember I went to church with him!!) was here for a visit last week with a group of 4o family members.
The Keys
Back on the road after Raleigh visit....Two week stay n the Keys...Loved our Rv Resort...right on the water!
Key West
We took a drive on Harry Truman’s US 1, The Overseas Highway that runs the length of the Florida Keys from our campsite mid-south on the chain at Marathon Key, and went 60 miles further south to Key West. We amused ourselves by coming up with "names" of Keys. We thought we were hysterical but it might have been a "you had to have been there" kind of time. Take Tur which is where many folks spend their Thanksgiving (Turkey). We went by the twin Oh and Doh, which are very agreeable Keys Okey Doley) There is Off, where the singing is not so great (off-key) We went by Mon, with its jungle like feel. There is Don with its sign saying “Do not be what you see”. ANother two keys where Japanesse food is popular (sukaki) There are others, but I do not want to exceed my groan quotient.
