Key West

Hello from the most southernly point in the United States! Margaritaville - here we are! (We're here until Dec. 27, 2004 & we have internet again - hooray!)




We had a nice time in Miami and did all the Miami Beach and Art Deco tours that Miami requires. We drove past Star Island where Gloria Estefan, Rosie O'Donnell, & Shaquille O'Neal live & Fisher Island where Oprah has a home (who, suprisingly, still hasn't asked me to appear on her show about living your wildest dream - maybe she's waiting until we get home?).

Miami had a cold snap (expected low of 45F (around +7C) when we were there and they had an emergency weather bulletin on the TV describing to people how to dress in layers. SERIOUSLY!

We visited the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami where we were able to drive a diesel engine locomotive in the engineer's cab. Todd alleges that we did it for our mini-engineer Tomas but it also brought out the engineer in Todd & he may be thinking of a career change. Yes, even I admit it was really neat being up there, chugging down the line, & pulling the WHOOO WHOOO horn.

The highlight of Miami was the Miami Zoo where we watched them feed the tigers, orangutans, giraffes & giant tortoises. That was really neat.

Well, Todd is back and he wants his turn at the computer so I will sign off. Hopefully we'll post some photos and update the website in the next few days.

Happy Holidays! Carmen.
