Florida Keys photo gallery

My GPS location as I pull over onto the Keys. Pigeon Key A neat house with some funny signage. A beuaty shot from the point I THOUGHT was the Southernmost point. Also a shot my friend Jason Bailer would call 'artsy'. This is the Southernmost mansion. Almost every night there were parties going on here with some seriously ballin' people. Lots of money. A number of President's have stayed there. A fun note: on the SW corner of the island, virtually everything is branded as the 'Southernmost' whatever it is. In other words, if it's a house, it's got a sign called 'The Southernmost House'. My feet on the southernmost point. Alas, it is sadly a misnomer. The Southernmost point of Key West is not in fact the southernmost point of the USA. Hawaii has a number of places that are more south geographically. However, Key West is the Southernmost point of continental USA. Whatever. The Southernmost private residence in continental USA. It's actually someone's home. What a badass. My trusty Glidecycle. A view of the island from a pier near my hostel. The greenish hue is the sand, which is only four or five feet deep in those spots. Nothing else to be said. How hilarious is that? A view from sunset point. Unfortunately, it was cloudy. Again, not much needs to be said. The closest cross-streets from my hostel. Key West may as well have been home. The home that Ernest Hemingway owned and lived in. He got stuck in Key West waiting on a car (hate when that happens) and ended up staying for like, five years. The old traintracks that are no longer used. The clouds moving in over the Key Largo bridge on the drive out.
