Final Day in Florida

The students really enjoyed their hotel in Key Weat last night, swimming in the pool until after 10:00pm.
This morning, after breakfast, the first visit of the day was to tour Ernest Hemingway's home in Key West.  The students enjoyed seeing the famous 6-toed cats, the Chinese & Korean language guides that we provided, & the book store were they were able to buy books by & about Hemingway.
From Key West the group drove north up the Keys again, stopping to see Bertha the Giant Lobster & for lunch before visiting the John Pennecamp Coral Reef State Park.
The highlight of the visit to the park was a glass-bottomed boat tour over the coral reef, allowing everybody to see the coral & sea life without getting wet!
From the boat tour it was just an hour's drive to Miami & the group's final dinner & hotel.  Dinner tonight was at a Japanese steak house, a fun way to end the tour before tomorrow's flight & drive home to Virginia.
