I've lived in the Keys for 37 years and I will tell you it is still thrilling to drive over the 7-Mile Bridge that connects Marathon to Sunshine Key, then just around the corner is Bahia Honda Bridge where you can see a piece of the old railroad still standing. See for yourself.... come back to the Keys for a visit or a lifetime and build your own memories.
Warm regards from the Keys, Judy Cinque
