Turns out that we didn't head straight to Everglades National Park after my first post. We're finally on our way there today, but in the meantime we missed a turn and decided we were already 12 miles into the 130 mile trek to Key West... so we went. Had a good time touristing, but decided it isn't for us in the long term. Fun for a day or two. Enjoyed some key lime pie and also some kitschy shell shops. Spotted 5 dolphins off one of the bridges on highway 1 and swung around into a turn-off so we could watch them. Got a few far-off photos as proof (coming next time), but they didn't get close. We did get to witness their feeding behavior and see them circling some fishies. I also got to see a Blue Marlin leap out of the water, don't worry, I won't be offended if you call me Eagle Eyes, but Doc was driving and couldn't turn his head in time to see. Better luck next time. Also went to a nautical flea market (who knew there was such a thing?) and found out that they basically sell fishing tackle, boat rope, and oddments. Interesting. Anyway, off this morning to tour the Coral Castle, a truly odd monument built by a very odd man to commemorate his love for a woman. Chocolate will be just fine for me, thanks, no one build me a shrine.
