Key West Sights {Florida Tourist Part 3}
We were at Key West for several days, and we did a ton of walking! It’s not a huge island, but when you walk a lot every day you begin to wonder. We swam some, too, and ate amazing food, but we just enjoyed the sights as well! So much history in less than 8 square miles. The view from the Key West Lighthouse was fabulous! We weren’t allowed to take photos in the Harry S. Truman Little White House, but go there if you can. It’s fun! If you missed other Key West Posts, visit here and here.

Who hasn’t heard of Sloppy Joe’s Bar in Key West? We enjoyed a beer there, and listened to some live music one afternoon.

I hadn’t heard about the chickens running wild in Key West. I live in a rural county in Virginia so they wonder around all the time here, I must have looked like a loon just laughing at chickens in a city!

Beautiful Cornish Memorial AME Zion Church. A passerby told us a little legend about it and the Underground Railroad that I couldn’t find anywhere, but still a beautiful building.

View of Sand Key Lighthouse where my aunt’s ashes are from the Key West Lighthouse. It’s all the way at the horizon (which is only about 6 miles from shore).

Anyone who knows me knows my love affair with The Gilmore Girls. In one episode they do the Festival of Living Pictures and Loralei dresses up as the girl in this “Dance At Bougival” by Renoir. It was in the park beside the lighthouse. When I showed it to my daughter she immediately recognized it…she knows me.

The story of the Harry S. Truman Little White House was fascinating, but you weren’t allowed to take photos inside as many dignitaries visit often!

The beautiful church (I believe the oldest African-American one in Key West) Cornish Memorial AME Zion Church
