Key West vacay, Day 7

Checked out of the Kingfish "Resort," basically every motel on the way back is labeled as a Resort.

Gray, spitty, high-50's.

Left the Keys, realized we had time to visit an alligator park. Drove to one that was past Florida City - past fields with migrant workers, the Dade County prison with quite nice migrant housing across the street. They offered airboat rides, which we really didn't gave time to do. So we checked out the Everglades National Park. Looked at the educational displays, would like to go back and devote a whole day to driving the entire way and take more time to look for Nature (ie: alligators from a safe distance).


Stopped at an old kitschy veg/fruit stand called (yes!) Robert Is Here. Bought a lulu avocado and delicious shakes (mine was pineapple, guava, cocoanut). Then it was time to drive to the airport. Still cool and spitty, but I wasn't going to change out of my shorts and flip flops until we reached the airport.


Easy, uneventful flight home. It was 26 degrees and no snow.
