Already I love it here on the keys. We drove in this morning and spent all afternoon at Bahia Honda State Park on the beach. Morgane made two little friends who only spoke Italian, but they all played together amazingly. We swam and snorkled and saw lots of little fish in the shallow water. I saw one BIG one that scared me out of the water.
We met a very nice couple from New Mexico and now they are on our list of people to visit. We also met a young couple from Niagara Falls who have a white Westfalia and have been travelling pretty much like us since September.
We all drove into Key West together. They are also treating themselves to a hotel for two nights. The pool at our hotel is amazing and Morgane and I will try it in the morning. Ghis and our friends are going to try it now (and the poolside bar, too).
Tomorrow we’ll stay in Key West and explore the historical district. There is supposed to be a Christmas parade and at sunset every night, there’s lots going on at Mallory Square.
Key West is the southernmost point in the United States and we are also only 90 miles from Cuba.
