My Last Trip to Key West
I haven't been to the Florida Keys since 2006. I still love to visit, especially Key West, right before Spring Break so it's neither too hot nor too crowded with drunken rowdy kids. Fall is nice too but not the best place to be during hurricane season. I flew to Ft. Lauderdale from National (DC) then took a puddle-jumper down to the Keys.
Driving anywhere in the Florida Keys, you see these tiny deer. They are Odocoileus virginianus clavium, an endangered species and the smallest deer in North America. You're not supposed to feed them but everyone does because they're so cute. Wikipedia
The edge of town.
Some of the local shops.
Went to the local gay bar my first night there, talked with the bartender for hours as the whole town is pretty vacant in early March. Went upstairs to catch a drag show.
A couple of the Key West Lighthouse.
And Ernest Hemmingway's house. I only took pictures from the outside because it felt kind of dirty that they were charging $11 for tours.
Chickens walk around the town's streets bold as brass.
Some of the architecture I liked.
Some other random photos from this trip.
I got myself two souvenirs: One was my navel pierced, which they don't do in actual Key West for perhaps obvious reasons, but there's a tattoo shop right outside of town. This was the other:

What a wonderful post! I'm so glad @c0ff33a mentioned it in his vlog post or I would have missed it! I was in key west 25years ago.. it doesn't look like its changed at all! I've been in hemmingway's house.. we did the tour.. a lot of cats in that house! It is a very cool house though I'd happily live there.
Deer, drag show, and chickens.
Sounds like a good time.
I hope you caught a sunset on the pier.
cute deer
Hermosas fotografías, es un post muy llamativo y entretenedor; éxitos
Gracias! :D
What a fantastic trip, the tiny deer are so cute they definitely need feeding up a little. This would have made an epic #MarketFriday for @dswigle - so many wonderful pictures of your visit.
Sloppy Joe's, always reminds me of a film but I forget which one. Don't tell me - you found @sircork in the Rum Barrel and then stumbled on @crazybgadventure in hog's breath 😜
That boat is Huge, Majesty of the Seas is a bit of an understatement - more like city on the seas!
Did you get the Souvenir for @sircork as well 😉
Splendid post, thoroughly enjoyed it as always you never fail to entertain.

I waited for a person to be near the ship because it was so massive that its scale needed something identifiable for perspective.
That bong has a story of its own - namely that it was totally worth the $120 I paid for it, but it was sitting on my carpeted floor a few years later when my cat brushed its side, and it fell over and shattered into a thousand pieces.
