429--Key West: Camping in the Florida Keys @ CherieSpotting     Feb 26 2009 - 14:37 PST cherie writes: This is a collection of photos I’ve taken over the past two weeks in the Florida Keys. Sure there are incredible sunsets, but the Keys also has charming architecture, white sand beaches, puffy clouds, waterfront campsites, funky dogs, feral chickens, wild art, romantic tallships and courageous street performers on Mallory Square. Key West is more than just a strip of bars on Duval Street. If you explore the nooks and crannies of the island, you’ll find the gems like Mo’s (at 1116 White St.), a local Haitian restaurant where the food is so heavenly it can’t be described in words. A group of friends had dinner at Mo’s and we were so enchanted with the food, we got up and danced around the restaurant. Dancing is always allowed in Key West!

That bird was eyeing my Key Lime Pie...good thing I finished it quick. The bird that has no fear. I think I scared him away. Taking a photo out the RV window. Cherie at the helm in the Florida Keys. A glass of wine at the campsite at sundown. Sunrise view from the RV window. Greg isn't ready to get up yet. Camping at Florida's Long Key State Park. Charming architecture in the Keys.

Kicking back with a book. Camping in paradise (also known as the Florida Keys.) Here comes the sun again! Can you feel the ocean breeze? Watching the view. I love the clouds in Florida. Putting my feet up after a relaxing day. A wave from Greg. All the campsites in Long Key are waterfront sites. Clouds are cool. A canoe in the warm light of dusk. Long Key State Park. A tallship sailing in Key West. A tallship sailing in Key West. Loretta enjoying the view. A boat washed ashore. Our spot at Boyd's campground in Key West. The local birds. Our campsite at Boyd's Campground. The view from our backyard at Boyd's Campground. Diane and Cherie. Greg "experiments" with breakfast and makes a "meat pancake." Disgusting. Greg's experiment "meat pancake". I think Greg does things like this so he can get out of cooking breakfast. Key West waterfront property? The local pelicans. Copy cats (copy birds?) Standing at attention. House or boat? A boat with character. Derelict boats. The view from my kayak. Tropical birdstand. Greg and Cherie Greg and Cherie at sunset. The view from our RV.

Theo and Diane have us over for drinks. Eating at Mo's, our favorite Haitian restaurant. A toast to delicious food. Everyone is so happy, we can't help but get up and dance. Eat the calories, then burn the calories. Dancing is contagious. So much fun! Diane flashes a smile. The ladies. The gang at Mo's. Now there's a beautiful family (the owners of Mo's.) And can they cook!
