Cold - it's relative

Really, can't complain. We've had two beautiful sunny days in the area. Yesterday was very VERY windy, but we still had a great day in Key West. The drive down to Key West took approx. 3 hours from Key Largo, and we counted 40 bridges. We had heard that it was a long, monotonous drive down a 2 lane highway, but it was not monotonous, nor was it 2 lane. Well, it was in some areas, over bridges for example, but driving through all the keys was interesting. Not much that was photographically friendly, so I don't have lots of pictures. I guess the best angle would be from the air. It's 106 miles from Key Largo to Key West. Islamorada is about a third of the way there, and is very beautiful. Marathon is at the half way mark, and is followed by the 7-mile bridge. Longer than Big Mac going up to the U.P. Key West is busy, busy. And it was on a day that had record breaking cold! The previous low was 48 degrees, and Monday morning it was 42 degrees. Record-shattering, I'd say. Took a shuttle from the hotel in Key West to the historic downtown for some sightseeing. We made it to the southernmost point in the continental U.S., which is 90 miles from Cuba and had a great dinner at a local restaurant called Two Friends Restaurant (I think!) of blackened tilapia, baked potato and a couple of great margaritas. Yum. Also managed to grab a most delicious piece of Key Lime pie. And get this, as we were walking down the street, a lady from Winnipeg recognized Thor, and they had a little chitchat. What are the chances of that?? She happened to be on a cruise that stopped in Key West for the day. More proof that it really is a small world. I posted a few pictures until I can figure out how to get a slide show on here. And the profile picture was taken today, on one of the Keys many bridges, in the very brisk wind!
