The southern most point in the US the Conch Republic a country unto itself.

Where the temps are a balmy 85.

And weird things and people abound.

The fish and the shrimp are fabulous.

Where you can eat dockside and enjoy the sea breezes.

Or slowly meander down the keys on the overseas highway.

Stopping to eat more good food on Key Largo at Buzzards Roost waterside at the Garden marina.

And listen to some Caribbean steel drum music before the strenuous last 125 miles to Key West.

Oh and enjoy their delicious shrimp basket. First sketch of the day. Buzzards Roost on Key Largo for lunch.

And all kinds of fascinating places to sketch. Sooner or later to paint in my coloring book.

I mean it’s paint or eat my fish tacos. Guess which one won?

Sooner or later these will get colored like this one at Malias.
