| Page Views: 5,988 Last Visit to Florida Keys: May, 2005 | The necklace of islands; The Keys by Dutchnatasja - last update: Jun 9, 2005 |
This necklace of islands stretches 130 miles from the mainland of Florida south to Key West, and it's stitched together by 42 bridges that stretch across translucent blue waters.
The Keys are Ernest Hemingway and Jimmy Buffett, hurricanes and conch fritters, sunburnt tourists and coral reefs, raucous bars and posh resorts. Best of all, it's a watery kingdom that lures boaters, divers and sportfishermen from around the world year after year. |
