Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf
Key, FL: This morning we headed to Key West for breakfast at Blue
Heaven. Mike dropped me off and then
went to find a place to park. I put our
name in and was told a 50 minute wait.
Waited and waited for Mike to show up.
He finally did and had to park at the Eco Center which wasn’t a bad walk at
all. We decided to go to Azur instead
since Blue Heaven was slammed. Had a
great breakfast washed down with a couple of mimosas and then parked by the KW
cemetery and explored around there. Back
home and Richard wanted to know if we were going to Finnegan’s Wake in KW
tonight to see Fiona. Not sure if we’ll
go or not.
Key West Cemetery
The Key West cemetery was founded in 1847 after the original one was destroyed by a hurricane and reflects the cultural diversity that is Key West today. There is a Catholic section, a Jewish section, the USS Maine plot, and a section for those who fought in the 1868 Cuban revolution. In addition to these defined areas, interspersed throughout are African Americans, Cubans, and Americans--both rich and poor.

A little baby I guess. |

This is where Captain Outrageous is interred. Would have liked to have met him. |

The USS Maine section |

The oldest grave in the cemetery--that of James Johnson who died in 1828 at the age of 60. |

An unknown from the USS Maine |
