Why Key West is a Paradise on Earth

One of my motorcycle trips that I'm most proud of is one I took to Key West. The lack of politicians there, and rules in general makes it a paradise for no other reason. It's not the tropical atmosphere, or the crazy behavior on Duval Street. It's the spirit that most share there of freedom, and a love for it.

I vacation in the Florida keys. We rarely visit Key west or Duval Street anymore, unless we are with friends who want to. Over the years I have spent many a wonderful afternoon at Kelly's enjoying happy hour and conversing with fellow travelers while my wife shops on Duval... Good times and many stories...

  I bet. I thinks its something that would degrade over several visits. I knew there was something I liked a lot about you. The Florida Keys are just one of those special places.

    I'm not the party animal I once was, but I can still keep up when the mood strikes me. Nowadays I prefer the laid back feeling of the Middle Keys, but I never miss an opportunity to drive down over the seven mile bridge and enjoy the view.
    The feeling is mutual. :)

      we stayed in Marathon. in these crazy little hexagonal houses up on stilts with wraparound screened porches. I rode my bike all over the place and back and forth across the bridge many times.
      I did not enjoy the traffic but I did enjoy the ocean

        I have friends that own a couple of places in Duck Key. We rent nearby regularly and last September I took the wife, by way of boat, here for dinner one night. http://www.urbanspoon.com/rph/144/920445... We have dined there several times over the years but this was the first time I took the boat. The ride home under the stars was something to remember, much like the sunset earlier.
