From Traditional to TOURIST TRAP! Key West Visit…

During the last holidays I did travel to Miami, visit my uncle and went to Key West Friday, after Thanksgiving, I have to say that wasn’t that bad, of course the driving was super cool, but still had to drive bunch of miles, weather NO COMMENTS, really cool and nice, the color of the sea was amazing, the emerald green you usually see in any island of the Caribbean, when to Fort Taylor, and the Southernmost Point, of course if you go to Key West, you had to get your picture taken over there, as usual lot of Cuban, you can ear the common Spanish, and how, even away from Sin City, you can listen some aseres!

But wait, when we left the Fort we went to Duval St, hoping for some traditional architecture, roosters walking on he streets, conch stores, well, nothing was as I was thinking, well my image from Cuba of Key West was this traditional port with fishermen, rooster, Hemingway etc. etc. etc, but now everything is about BARs, cheap stores and alcohol, don’t get me wrong still a good place to visit but when you want to buy a baseball cap and have to pay 20 USD for it, you think twice.

Even when this sour feeling I got some good shots, hope you like:
