The Keys are linked together by Highway 1, from Miami to Key
West. Two bus routes serve the Keys one from Miami to Marathon and the second
from Marathon to Key West. The buses stop at any place along the route where
there is room to turn off, no assigned bus stops just schedule times to be at
certain mile markers. The fare to Miami is $2.65 get on anywhere and off
anywhere still $2.65 per person. The Key West route is $4.00 or $1.50 for seniors,
what a great way for us to get around.
Six of us decided to go to Key Largo this
afternoon. We saw the African Queen from the Bogart movie and took a tour on
the Glass Bottom Boat to the reef a 2 hour journey. I noticed when the boat moved there was no turbulance visible through the glass bottom. I assume then that each section of the bottom was a single piece of glass well faired into the hull. Each viewing section was at least 20 feet long and 10 feet wide. Then some seafood and back
on the bus to home, a fun day.

It rained last night as a cold front past and this morning
was quite overcast, the clouds cleared this afternoon and the temperature was
in the mid 70’s about 10 degrees cooler than the previous several days.

Just catching up on your posts from the last couple days that we've been in the hospital! Dolphins are such interesting creatures ~ would like to learn more about them. And needle tatting too!
