We had a great time in Dry Tortugas, but were very excited to venture to Key West. On the way there we stayed a night at Marquesas Keys and finished the last leg to Key West with great winds and beautiful sunny skies. There are some very nice, expensive beach houses amongst some of the private keys that lead up to Key West. There were also lots of lobster traps marked by bouys that we had to dodge along the way. We actually got tangled in one and had to cut ourselves free.
At Key West we really enjoyed the town as much as the beach. With our folding bicycles as our transportation we were able to tour the whole island to our hearts content. We bought groceries, hung out at bars, sat along Duval street people watching, and watched the sunset at Malorey Square. We had a great time and were sad when it was time to go.
