Key West Collage

Click in the picture to see it bigger....


Thank you to all my friends for all your kind comments and compliments to my post from yesterday. I don't feel very good today, I think I got a cold in very COLD Key West with an icy wind. That's the reason why I did this collage for you to show you as much impressions of my tropical island paradise, as I can.

See you later, I'll be back soon with more photos.

We are planning to drive back to the mainland today, it depends how I'll feel....

The Southernmost Point in the US

Southernmost Point in the US

Key West, Florida

As the winter chill sets records in much of the country, those in the know huddle around the pot-bellied stove-like monument marking the Southernmost Point in the United States.

The marker, actually built to resemble a buoy, stands at furthest south tip of Key West. The monument notes that Cuba is only 90 miles away, and just to its right, a plaque commemorates the brave Cubans who have drowned trying to get to America, "The Leader In Democracy." In the blocks around the Monument are numerous other "Southernmosts" — hotel, house, restaurant, etc.

On the top of the monument is painted the logo of The Conch Republic. Twenty years ago, Key West, seeking to enhance its reputation as a free-wheeling, fun-loving, party without consequence kind of town, seceded from the United States, declaring itself The Conch Republic. Every April, a ten-day party celebrates the event. But if that's the case, then the Southernmost Point in The US is actually one key up, in Boca Chica.
