Our staff even took first place together with a prize and bragging rights. We had a lot enjoyable with Amy once more that we begged her to squeeze in a conch blowing class along with her earlier than our flights out the following morning.

Amy additionally helps embody one in every of my different favourite issues about Key West, the folks and the Key West tradition. As a vacationer, it’s by no means enjoyable to really feel like a nuisance or undesirable by the locals.

Key West is small, so everybody is aware of everybody there, however they nonetheless love vacationers and you’ll positively really feel it. One of many largest sayings/slogans on the island is “One Human Household.”

Even being there for a number of brief days, you begin to really feel how a lot the folks of Key West actually consider that we’re all only one human household, regardless of the place we come from, what we seem like, or what we consider in.

It’s an exquisite method to reside.
