1/7/05 - Key West, Florida

Its nice to be surprised once in a while. I find that golden rule of being surprised in a positive way is to lower my expectations. That I did.

Duval Street, Key West

Key West, otherwise known as Republic of Concha, is of course, the southern most piece of US land. Despite being pretty small the town has a distinct charm, atmosphere and character.

The main street of Key West is called Duval street. It starts in Malory Square and runs all the way through to the shore. The street is nothing but a strip of shops, cafe, restaurants and pretty houses.

One thing that we found rather strange is the things people do to their dogs in Key West, take a look:

and slightly more disturbing:

We went back to report dog abuse and on the way stopped for some lunch and later fudge tasting. It was so good that we totally forgot about dogs and went straight through to Malory Square. This is where we saw the sponge man, and decided that dogs are just fine in this town.
