So I'm back from my honeymoon. Key West is a wonderful little town and we had a great time. It is very darling and relaxed. The weather is amazing and the houses and atmosphere are fantastic. Mallory Square and the super tourist areas aren't so bad either. But after 5 days of our "relaxing" honeymoon (that means no boat tours or swimming with dolphins or voyages to the dry tortugas) we were both ready to come home! The highlight of the trip was the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. It was amazingly beautiful and the ocean was great. I snorkeled and we read and sunned ourselves for hours. Renting chairs and umbrellas cost you $30 and snorkeling equipment cost you another $10. With snacks and admission a day at the beach ends up costing you $50. Vacation is expensive!
We found ourselves really scrimping as the days went on and ended up eating at the awesome and affordable El Siboney many times. I've never really had Cuban food. They give you a basket of the most delicious buttered hot bread as soon as you sit down. I got a half of a garlic roasted chicken with yellow rice, black beans, and friend plaintains the first night. It was amazing and I couldn't eat it all. I would say that was my favorite meal of the trip.
