OUR FAMILY TRAVELED TO SEE OUR RELATIVES IN FLORIDA. WE DECIDED TO GO TO KEY WEST AND STAY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ONE OUTSTANDING ATTRACTION WAS THE KEY WEST BUTTERFLY AND NATURE CONSERVATORYWHERE THEY RAISED 100'S OF BUTTERFLY TYPES. THEY HAD ALSO SOME SMALL BIRDS. THEIR PICTORIALS DEFINE HOW REPRODUCE BUTTERFLIES. WE TOOK MANY PHOTOS.
WHEN WE TRAVELLED THERE THE WINDS WERE STRONG AND IT WAS TOO COLD TO SWIM AT MOST BEACHES. OUR HOTEL ALSO GAVE US SOME BIKES SO WE BIKED AROUND THE TOWN AND WENT TO SEVERAL BEACH TOWNS NOT TO FAR AWAY FROM OUR HISTORIC BED AND BREAKFAST.
IT RAINED ONE DAY AND TOOK PHOTOS WHERE WE WENT. WE MISSED THESAINT MARY STAR OF THE SEA. IT IS A BIG BEAUTIFUL CATHOLICCHURCH ON THE ISLAND. SOME FOLKS SAY IT IS THE PRETTIEST CHURCH THEY HAVE SEEN. THE GARDENS ARE WELL KEPT AND PRETTY NICE.
IN KEY WEST THEY ALSO HAVE DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARK, THAT IS THE 4TH GREATEST ATTRACTION HERE. IT IS 100 SQUARE MILE PARK OPEN WITH 7 SMALL ISLANDS. YOU MUST BOAT THERE. WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT . IT IS WORLDWIDE KNOWN AS FORT JEFFERSON WITH CORAL REEFS AND MARINE LIFE.
IT IS 70 MILES WEST OF KEY WEST AND WAS AN 1800'S FORT. IT WAS USED BY SPANISH EXPLORERS AND MERCHANTS TRAVELING ALONG THE GULF COAST. THEY HAVE SNORKELING AND VERY CLEAN WATERS. THE CITY HAS MANY TOURIST ATTRACTIONS THAT OUR FAMILY MISSED. THEY HAVE MANY UNIQUE THEATRES.
