 The
island of Key West is a wonderful place to call home. The climate
is mild year round. Our famous azure waters, brilliant sunsets and
lush tropical gardens provide an exciting, relaxing, and creative
environment for natives and visitors alike. Everyone is welcome to
enjoy the bounty Key West has to offer. There are so many things to
do and places to see. As a resident of Cayo Hueso since 1985, I have
a few suggestions and favorites.

The
Conch Republic
The "Republic" of Key West, Florida was formed in 1982 when
the US military blockaded the Florida Keys. In Reaction, Key
West Mayor Dennis Wardlow seceded from the Union, declared war,
surrendered, and demanded foreign aid. More fun than secessionists
should be allowed to have!
