Nancy Forresters Secret Garden 10/05/2009

This AM, we met Scott at Nancy Forrester’s Secret Garden, in Key West. This is a beautiful garden that was covered with lush, tropical foliage. The foliage was so thick that the majority of the property was completely shaded from the canopy. The Garden is also a shelter for parrots. Unfortunately, due to the low lighting, the pictures of the parrots were too dark.

Key West 05/22/2009

Today we biked Key West.  Everything looks different on a bicycle!  It was about 80 degrees with a 10 MPH breeze.  After the 2 hour ride, we went snorkeling to cool off.  The water was a bit mirky because of the recent rains and winds.

The big tourist shot!

This ship is being prepped to become a reef about 11 miles off of the shore line.
