Key West

by GUYON - last update: Feb 8, 2008

Typical houses of Key West

Wooden houses
Key West is the Southest city of USA.

It is also a mythical place with its wreckers, Hemingway and more recently, the films.

For a French tourist it is also a medecine against the Skyscrapers of the other US towns.

We went there twice : in November 2002 and the same month of 2003.

The main difference we notice is the pollution. Everybody says to leave the car and use a bicycle. But why to drive a bicycle if it is possible to rent a mope (or an electric car too expensive). So the air is now polluted.

(See other houses in the travelogue)
Sunset

The evening meeting point of Key West (5:30 PM in November).
There are plenty of acrobats and food vendors to wait the quick diving of the sun in the ocean.

Nightlife in Duval Street

On the evening Duval street is very animated and lighted, especially the part between Truman and Front street.

 On my Key West trip in 2004 I found the Blue Parrot Inn from your VT page and it turned out to be a great place to stay. Thanks for the great tip.

 Hi Lionel, it sounds like you had a great trip. I love the pic of Monique with the weird card LOL p.s: I still can't believe you like Denny's :-)

 Guyon... great job on Key West! I find your postings some of the most organized and easy to read. I rely on your Paris postings when we travel to Paris :-) Beautiful photo of night time Duval Street! Sandy
