On our way to Key West on Saturday, February 6, 2010, we waited until we were on our way on the Route 1, known as “The Overseas Highway,” before we looked for a local place to eat.
The Overseas Highway connect 29 of the 200 islands we know as the archipelago, the Florida Keys.
The route was originally established as a railroad built by Henry Flagler. A horrific hurricane struck the Keys on September 2, 1935 and irreparably wrecked the railroad.
The railroad was replaced with the Overseas Highway for automobile traffic, which opened in 1938.
We found the Green Turtle Inn after traveling about 20 miles and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.
According to the web site for the restaurant, http://www.greenturtlekeys.com/: “Green Turtle Inn Restaurant / We have been a Keys tradition since 1947 / Located at MM 81.5 Islamorada, Florida Keys / Phone: 305-664-2006 / Email: info@greenturtlekeys.com.”

The Key West Museum of Art & History in the Custom House: The living past in a vibrant future
http://www.kwahs.com/customhouse.htm
Follow a path once traveled by wreckers, pirates, and politicians to South Florida's most important historic building. The Custom House, built in 1891, served as a post office, court house and government center when wrecking made Key West the richest city, per capita, in the U.S. But by the 1930s, the island city was bankrupt. Eventually, the building was boarded up and completely abandoned. Now, after a 9-year, $9 million restoration project, the Key West Art & Historical Society has returned the big red brick building to its former glory.
See folk artist Mario Sanchez's colorful wood paintings of old Key West.
Meet Key West's famous people through portraits by Paul Collins.
Stand in the very room where the U.S. decided to go to war with Spain, following the sinking of the battleship USS Maine.
Learn about Ernest Hemingway's life in Key West, where he wrote many of his most famous novels. See his bloodstained WWI uniform and other personal items that created his legendary status as an adventurer and writer.
Discover how pirates prowled the inlets of the Keys to hide themselves and their loot - and how the Navy rid the local waters of the "Brethren of the Coast.”
Feel the history of Key West come alive in the big red brick building - The "Coolest" Museum in Town!
Who Is Key West? Internationally acclaimed painter Paul Collins displays his modern renditions of Key West's most memorable characters past and present, featuring subjects from Henry Flagler to Mario Sanchez, Fuzzy the Cobbler to Ernest Hemingway and more.

20070220 How bad was last week’s snowstorm
Daily Photoblog: February 20th, 2007
While I was in Key West Florida last week, I would call the Westminster Street Department and Carroll County PIO, Vivian Laxton, W.A.B. as often as possible and raze them that I was in 90-degree weather and they were in temperatures in the single digits.
They were in the ice and the snow at all hours of the night and day, plowing snow and chipping ice and I was sitting on my back balcony strategically positioned with my laptop overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
They vowed to get me back.
Well, they did.
Pictured above is the igloo they made of my house with tons of snow which greeted me upon my arrival late Monday afternoon, February 19th, 2007.
Not to worry. I simply went inside and made a fresh cup of tea, hooked up the laptop and raised my office window just far enough that did not let too much cold air into the house, but my wife could still hear me as I cheered her on - - while she shoveled us out.
Man ole’ man was it hard work watching my wife do all that shoveling. Oh – she was happy to do it. You see, for Valentine’s Day I had purchased her a new snow shovel.
My wife is super. I’ll think I’ll keep her.
As for the Westminster Street Department; oh, I’ll get them back. Journalists in the print media may purchase ink by the barrel, but bloggers have an infinite amount of “ones” and “zeros” at their disposal. And me, I have the ink and the 1s and 0s.
