Vacationing With So Much To Do And See In Key West, Florida

By Peter Estenoz


Having a wonderful time wish you were here! I know it sounds corny for me to be sending you the same ole line on this letter but its true! I have truly enjoyed my stay here in Key West Florida, and thought I would write you a note while I'm sitting on this beautiful sandy beach, underneath the palms, basking in the sun. I have seen so many things this trip, I just had to write and tell you! It is so amazing down here.

Once we got checked into our resort, we immediately went off to explore the island! So much to see! Lets see where do I begin! We of course wandered down Duval Street, did a little souvenir shopping, checked out the famous bars; Sloppy Joe's, Margaritaville, Pat Croce's Rum Barrel, Captain Tony's, ate some fantastic food at Pier House Resort's Harborview Cafe while watching the sail boats start out for sunset celebration. Speaking of such, we ventured over to Mallory Square for the daily festivies and saw some of the most creative street performers we have ever seen. Did I mention "Cat Man"? How on earth did he train those cats to do those tricks? I can't even get mine to come when I call, all it does is just look at me and meow! It was an amazing sunset, so beautiful, and I can't wait to do it all again tomorrow! They say down here every sunset is different, so we definitely have something to look forward to! Lets see tomorrow, think we'll go fishing or snorkeling, as there are so many of the fishing charters and catamarans that offer trips on a daily basis! All we have to do is show up! They provide everything we need, and some of them even supply lunch, and drinks! and for the evening, might even catch one of those schooners and do the romantic sunset sail! Everything is so reasonably priced!

We have time while we're on the island to visit the many museums and tours that are offered. We are going to visit Hemingway's House, and see the six toed cats, explore the grounds where Ernest Hemingway wrote some of his novels. Right across the street from there is the Lighthouse Museum, might even venture up 88 steps to see the view, 88 steps up and 88 steps down! We want to go also to Mel Fisher's Museum, and see the treasures he discovered from the shipwrecked Atocha. Lets see the Southernmost House Museum, which is also a guest house, the Ship Wrecker's Historium, to hear them yell "Wreck Ashore!" in order to salvage the supplies from shipwrecks. We also want to go to the Key West Butterfly Conservatory, on Duval Street. We heard too that the "Old Town Trolley" tour is great, and very informative about the whole island! We want to go over to the Fort Jefferson National Park, which is a day trip to the Dry Tortuga's!

Oh this place is so beautiful, its so relaxing, there is a nice warm breeze coming off the water today, very peaceful, there are a few sunbathers out today, soaking up the rays. I just noticed something else, aw how, very special, not far from where I'm at, a group of people just walked out to the beach, and here comes the bride in white! What a wonderful idea, a wedding, a beach side wedding! yep, there's the groom, the bridal party, here comes the bride with her escort, what more could you want, a quiet peaceful wedding on the beach, very intimate, and there is the photographer taking photos and the videographer capturing this wonderfully special moment! Its as if they are the only people on earth, with such a magnificent backdrop, blue skies, white sandy beach, getting married on the beach, listening to the sound of the waves lapping the shore! This has truly made this trip to Key West memorable, I'm going to have to tell everyone about this! To be able to combine the wedding and honeymoon in one destination, what a terrific idea! I bet they will go out to one of those really nice restaurants afterward for a celebration dinner! I would think maybe Michael's, or A & B Lobster House, or the Commodore Restaurant, or even Louie's Backyard, and, for dessert, definitely Key Lime Pie!

Well, now that I've totally relaxed, its time for me to put this letter to rest, roll over and drift off in a dream while working on my tan on the other side. Yes, I'm in Paradise, this wonderful place, Key West Florida, I'll send this letter off to you later today, along with some photos, so you can see what I've been talking about, take care and we'll see you soon!
