OVERSEAS HIGHWAY TO MARATHON KEY

On a crystal clear day with ideal temperatures we drove South to the Florida Keys - we had only a few hoours to explore and we had not been to the keys since the 1970's. It became clear very soon that much development had happened in these 40 years.

For one thing, the area devastated by hurricane Andrew in the early 90's was again a sea of one story single family homes.

Finally after passing Key Largo we entered the actual overseas highway linking a series of small keys. Above we are leaving one of the keys and are driving over emerald green waters.

Here in Marathon key we stop at a small neighborhood park in a non-gated community. The water lapping the coral reef boulders is clear and warm.
