Farewell

We have spent a lot of time in the Florida Keys. Now, it times to go home. Our favorite things we did were going to see the Nutcracker Key West, beach aquariums, meeting the 95 year-old woman named Jill, and going scuba-diving.  We are really sad to have to leave, but we are coming back next year. Bye!! :(  

Florida Keys Poem

 Florida Keys
The Florida Keys have a bright sun,
At the Florida Keys you can have tons of fun,
The soft sand and the ocean tide,
Or the sunset when the sun wants to hide.
Boat rides or the ocean breeze, 
Please come the Florida Keys.

Jimmy Buffet

We just visited where Jimmy Buffet lived when he lived in the Florida Keys!! It was so much fun. Jimmy wasn't born in Florida but he lived there for a short while. We also got to go to one of his concerts and he sang Bama Breeze, Oysters and Pearls, Blowing in the Wind, Banana Republics, Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season, Do You Know What It's like to Miss New Orleans, Paradise, Coast of California, The Last Mango in Paris, Lovely Cruise, It's all About Water, Island Forever.  After the concert we bought his albums with all of his songs. 

Jill the 95 year old lady

Now we are talking to a 95 year old lady who has lived here all her life. She is telling us some very interesting facts about this place. They have some endangered species of seaturtles here in the Florda Keys, if we're lucky we will get to swim with some. They have very good food here, like key lime pie, the juiciest pineapples, and avacodos.

Some info on John Pennekamp coral reef state park

The park is 70 miles long. Its famous coral reef can be looked at from glass bottom boats. It's in the Atlantic ocean. It is the first underwater park.
