In 1891 Lucie Vannevar visited and wrote a description which appeared in The Key West Daily Equator-Democrat.
"In very truth Key West is the most charming, as it is the most quaint of American cities, and some day Fashion will set her seal upon it.
Like some fair woman, none know Key West but to love her. . . "
Many Jimmy Buffet fans believe that Key West is Margaritaville, a paradise with palm trees, ocean breezes, island music, beaches and thatch roof bars on the shore by a turquoise sea. "There also has to be lots of lies and stories and it all should blend together like tequila, salt and limes." For Jimmiy Buffett his Margaritaville is "less a place than a state of mind." When asked where Margaritaville is Buffett answers,
"When you are there, you will know it."
Visit Key West and decide for yourself. Whether visiting or residing in the Keys there is a lot to experience. In your planning include some activities which focus on nature.
