Florida Keys

Spent interim night in Homestead, Florida to shorten slow drive to Keys. Probably should have gone all the way without stopping. Could have avoided the red ants that feasted on my feet and hands. Required our first medical stop at an emergency room to get drugs and ointment to deal with the itching and swelling. Took about a week to get over.
New digs on a spit of land at mile marker 39. That's 39 miles from Key West. Spent couple days visiting Key West. Used bikes to get around since parking is crazy. Turned out to be the best way to see Key West. Toured all over the town, locked bikes to trees or fence or whatever when visiting bars or restaurants. And there are plenty of those. Some of our favorites were Hogs Breadth Saloon, Sloppy Joe's, Smokin Tuna.
Visited the Harry Truman little White House. The guy who said "the buck stops here" might have been talking about the poker games apparently played regularly on the porch of his digs.
Visited the southernmost point in the continental US and mile 0 of I-95.

Biked around some state park areas and took guided beach tour to understand what we were walking on.
Time to move on so going northward, but not too far, to Ft. Lauderdale area.
