The Florida Keys-Part 11
Yesterday’s post was about our trip to the Keys. If you aren’t familiar with the Keys you may not realize how many there are and how long it takes to get from the beginning of them all the way to the end at Key West. Today the total land area of the Florida Keys is 137.3 square miles (356 sq km) and there are over 1700 islands. However, very few of these are populated and most are very small. Only 43 of the islands are connected via bridges. In total there are 42 bridges connecting the islands but the Seven Mile Bridge is still the longest. In other words, they are bigger than you probably thought.
Here are some random shots of some of the entertainment at Mallory Square in Key West. Every night as the sun sets locals perform and tourists gather to watch. It’s like a huge party with strangers.
Have you ever been to the Keys? Would you like to go? Come back later in the week for more pictures and a restaurant review! For now, leave a comment!
I just saw a quote that said, “There are 7 days in a week and Someday isn’t one of them.” Make plans now!
You need to go! They are so fun!
Put it on your bucket list!
Wow, some great shots, it surely looks like they have some great acts. We need to take time and plan a trip.
Thank you for sharing!
I used to go to West Palm Beach every year, and I miss it. Never been to the Keys, though. I’ve always been curious about them. Looks like you had a great time!
That looks like so much fun! Someday…

What fun! I grew up in Miami, so going to the Florida Keys was a fav.
It was interesting Colleen! Thanks for stopping by!
They are a very fun place, especially in the winter months!
Yes, they never run out of them!
Oh Rosey, Why didn’t you? It’s so fun!
Thank you so much!
Kristi, Watching him made my ears hurt!
Nice pictures! I love the guy doing that trick by the ears via his earrings…..insane! I also would love to see a little pig do tricks. I have never seen that before. I’ve never been to the Florida Keys. It looks beautiful!
great photos!
I lived “THIS” close and didn’t go. Crazy, right??? Love your pics!
…and for my next trick….!
The Keys are on my list of travel musts. I hope we can visit soon! Awesome photos!
Pigs and flamethrowers …I think that beats NYC street acts!
Looks like a place to see weird stuff. Great photos!!
I know….totally weird. Thanks for stopping by!
It is a lot of fun! If you ever get a chance….go!
Yes, they were Melinda!
Cool, Steve. If I’m ever in London I’ll check that out!
Yes, they do!
Thanks for stopping by!
Attention seekers, Freda! Thanks for stopping by!
I love the last shot! Sure is a lot of weird performers in FLA.
It looks like a very interesting place to spend time. I did not know that the area was so big. Thanks for sharing.
Great photos. Some of those stunts look rather scary.
Fascinating pics a bit like the south bank here in London
Interesting street performers!
Those are really interesting roadside performers. Haven’t been to the Keys yet but it looks like a fun place to be at.
Those all look really amazing, especially that gorgeous sunset you captured. However, I could have lived without seeing the one of the guy holding an anchor up by his earlobes. Ewww!
