In Key West Florida For Our Wedding As It Was Where We First Fell In Love

By Peter Estenoz


As returning visitors we have a chance to relive what we experienced back in Key West Florida where we first fell in love. An inimitable southern air with a dash of Caribbean spice and relaxed lifestyle give this isle its distinctive flair. No wonder famous faces have flocked here to relish an island home or to simply gain some respite in winter.

This island paradise lies at the southerly tip of the US mainland. It lures over a million visitors to come and experiences its pleasurable environment each year. They all understand why President Harry Truman entertained the notion of moving the capital to Key West.

The Keys are a group of islands lying between two contrasting bodies of water. One is the colder and rougher Atlantic Ocean. The other is the warmer and calmer Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico is warmer and calmer than the ocean. This island provides memorable diving experiences. Underwater is the only North American coral and a wonderland of many species of fish.

The island is contained within the city of Key West which also occupies nearby islands as well as portions of nearby islands. The original neighborhood containing the historic district is known as the Old Town. Major tourist destinations including Duval Street and Mallory Square, the Truman Annex and Fort Zachary Taylor are located here. This is where you will find Victorian era bungalows and mansions. Most of these structures date from after 1885 to before 1913.

Landfill built up the island to increase its size. There are four distinct regions. The distinctive regions are the Old Town area, Casa Marina, Mid Town and New Town areas. The New Town region is a more modern section. It has housing areas, schools, ball parks, retail centers, shopping malls and the airport.

Whether on land or on the water you can just relax or keep busy enjoying the local activities. Visitors go to see treasures from shipwrecks, look at where literary figures and other famous faces spent their time, check out Victorian architecture and verdant gardens. They can go parasailing, jet skiing, take cruises, glass bottom boat and Dolphin watch tours. Top flight fishing is available by the shallow water flats or further put to sea.

Back in Key West Florida where we first fell in love are many pleasures to be enjoyed. The famous sunsets are a good time for romantic strolls. Every evening night vendors, artists and performers can be found at lively Mallory Square. Sunny island warmth is a persistent draw for both first time and repeat visitors.
