SO LONG "KEYWEST".

I really tried but my RV LEVELING business failed.
Maybe because of the wrong spelling on our truck. 
 Chris took a few last day pics from our camp ground.
I can feel a water colour painting on the way!!
 The dock at feeding time.
 Maggie didn't mind this little lizard in her RV for the ride.
The view of some mangroves in Key West.
Easy to understand why they call it the "walking tree".
 A town local out for a stroll.
 This is really true when the cruise ships are in town.
Expect to pay $10 for a $4 hot dog!
This seems to be a cruise ship happening at all their ports of call.
 Key West is a great place to "crawl out of your shell"!
Large tarpons swim  next to the docks in town.
 This waterfront warehouse has style!
 The Conch Time is a great way to get an overview of Key West.
 Classic local bar.
 More tarpon. Bad tasting but great catching fish. 
 Local colourful shops.
 More bars. No shortage down here.
!956 Chev
 1957 Chev......I tried to mail one to Jim in Ottawa but couldn't decide.
Jim, what say we go to Key West and drive both back!! 
 SO TRUE
 Yes, Key West has attitude! 
Pepes' has been serving meals for over one hundred years in Key West.
I know it looks real fancy on the outside but inside it's real casual. 
Pepes' key lime pie is a "do not miss item" on the menu.
 Great Food - Good Prices
 Fort Zachy Taylor Beach.
Best beach on the island. 


 Fish around the beach rocks.
 This beach is completely natural.
 Crashed out on the beach.
 The start of the daily sunset party at Mallory Square in Key West.
 Entertainment---
 of all sorts cover the square till the sun goes down.
 A cruise ship leaves the dock.
 Roosters take to the trees to view the sunset.
 Another perfect sunset in Key West.
 I'll miss all our friends---
 of all kinds on the island!

KEY WEST RV"IN

Boyd's RV Campground is about 10 mins from the centre of Key West.
Beautiful landscaping,  great service and location make it popular all year round.
The campground feels a bit crowded and that feeling makes it perfect for a Key West setting.
Vivid colour all over the park is a treat to behold.


Tiki bars can break out anywhere in the campground.
Bike trails travel throughout the park.
Long after Christmas, the spirit remains.
Attitude is encouraged in the "Conch Republic"!!
This camper is here for a good time-not a long time.
A small marina is part of the park.
Wildlife is just a part of the decor.
Pelicans gather like old fishermen.
They all have a story about.........
the one that got away.
Lay back and lay low is a way of life here.
Are you talking to me?
Beautiful Iguanas wander in everywhere and anytime.
They have always been a unique part of Key west and stories say they arrived from Cuba, 90 miles away, on drift wood.
Many of the small  islands and reefs have old boats that have washed a shore due to storms.
Many of the sites have huge motor homes with cars and boats for play time.
Colourful roosters also roam in Key West.
History shows they were brought here by the Spanish in the 1600's.
This is the pool as viewed from the Tiki Hut.
All this walking has made Maggie tired and hungry.

Yes-after a week here, we seem to be adapting well!!

KEY WEST FLORIDA ARRIVAL.

Note: this pic was not taken during our one of many happy hours.
Really there are two pelicans on the dock at Boyds RV Park in Key West Florida.
Boyds will be our new home for two weeks.
Naples was a great experience we must repeat in the near future.
