The keys to my heart are not made of
silver or gold. The Keys to my heart are a 125-mile chain of
laid-back islands in Florida that extends from Mile Marker 0 in Key West, to
Mile Marker 126 in Key Largo. The 42 bridges that connect The Keys span the
Atlantic Ocean, Florida Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico.
The most well known
bridge on this Overseas Highway is the 1980’s Seven Mile Bridge, one of the
longest segmental bridges in the world. It replaced Henry Flagler’s1912 Over-Sea Railroad Bridge,
a turn-of-the-century technological marvel that was badly damaged by the Labor Day
Hurricane of 1935.
Come
along with me as I visit the nooks and crannies of three of Florida’s
well-known Keys: Marathon, Islamorada, and Key Largo.
