Key West FL /Naples FL - KW to Marco Island to Naples...

 




















Time for the ferry ride home.  They ask you arrive about an hour early before the boat leaves.  So took in the art hanging from the rafters at the marina.  

And once on the boat wandered out back and caught a couple manatees making their way far from the boat.  

We arrived in the dark to Marco and back to a warm sunny morning in Naples.  Another 80+ day on the way.

Key West FL - Fort Mitchell and surrounds...and the cemetery

 
































One more beautiful day.  They even squeezed in a state park - Fort Mitchell on the island.  It contains a pre Civil War Fort that got secured by the Union to support the effort. 

It has been through many iterations but still lots of history and stories about this part of the USA.  

A bit of a wander in the cemetery as well - the newer one.  A hurricane took the first one off in to the sea.  And of course a few chickens wander around there - and as I left I ran in to another creature you sure don't see in Minnesota. 

Key West FL - Another side of the island

 


















Wandered in to the newer, more orderly and high end of the island.  Home of the "southern white house" as well.  And nestled in next to additional military operations. 

Key West is a great place to wander at night as well - things are lit up for a whole world of reasons it seems.
