Day 280 (Saturday 4/27/13)- The Florida Keys

Starting out early we reached The Keys before most of the traffic and got to enjoy an incredible view driving from Key Largo to Key West. As we drove along the water became more and more green, changing from a brilliant blue to aquamarine to turquoise and then to a light green as we neared the end of the road. It was breathtaking.

By the time we reached Key West the traffic had picked up significantly. We turned around and pulled off a couple of times, near Bahia Honda State Park and then again at the Veteran's Memorial Park. Both spots had incredible views, the first perfect for collecting tiny little shells and the second for viewing parasailers and wading into the warm water.

Words aren't sufficient to describe the beauty here. It was enchanting. The traffic was not. As we had started out early we had no issues driving back but gazed across to those on the other side heading for Key West in standstill traffic. At least they had a good view.
