Erik & Smisty's Florida Oddventures

[coasterkid21Did my donkey title just change???]

I went to all those places last year. It was so mush fun. Ahhh the memories.

Not all of them! I used to live in Fortville IN!

The drive down from Miami (where we were staying) took about 3 hours. But we got started at 6:45am or so on a Sunday morning, so there was basically no traffic. Hard to say how long it took to get back to Miami because we stopped and had dinner and played mini golf at Boondocks in Ramrod Key, but there wasn't a lot of traffic coming back either, so I think we did it right.

We had lunch in Key West at Red Fish Blue Fish. Mostly for the name, I think, but the food was pretty good.

For me the keys is definitely about fishing and drinking but I would add sorkeling to the top activities. The first time i stuck my head under water at looe key reef I was blown away, it is a must do while in the keys. If you take your own boat it is probably quite a bit better but the tours are cheap and plentiful, it's about 7 miles offshore but the swimming can be pretty easy on nice days.

For food the stuffed pig just before the 7 mile bridge is tops for me for breakfast. Big pine has a beautiful little hole in the wall called no name pub, very good pizza, served on ply-wood but still really good. Personally Key west is a one day out of seven for me, I could miss it. The magic that happens in the keys happens out in the open blue. I miss the Humps.

Who's permission do you need to get to touch the bird? The birds? Don't most people request that you ask their permission before you...touch them? Okay...everyone knows I'm a bit odd, but I found the sign on the left side of the Blue Dog to be really funny!

I noticed that one of the pictures, with the blue dog, is outside A Key Encounter. Tell me you went in there? It's crazy... A little tourist attraction about "God's creation" and "the beauty of Key West." But they have this big theater and a crazy "jungle walk." It only takes like 10 minutes, but I thought it was interesting.

We didn't do it. Honestly, it didn't even register as something we should do, at the time. It just looked like a pet store or something. We saw the advertisement on the opposite wall for some crazy religious show somewhere, but I didn't realize that the two were connected. Kind of wish we had checked it out now.

We made the attempt, but only found a closed store directing us to a different location...which was also closed. As near as I can tell, they've gone out of business.
