Also, we put some picturesque photos of Miami and Key Biscayne and some of their points of interest that we found online as well as a few of the one's we took ourselves below the video for your viewing pleasure.

Tom & Ali's Florida Trip Video-Chapter 4-Key West-Hard Rock Cafe (& the friend we made while eating there)-Crabby Dick's-7 Mile Bridge-(& more pics.):

So here's the fourth installment of the video of our Florida trip. As the title states, this part of the video is footage from our time spent in Key West, mostly of us at Hard Rock Cafe (& of the friend we made while eating there-pretty funny but kind of mean) & of us having lunch at Crabby Dick's (both are on Duval Street). Then, there is a quick blip of us driving north up the coast back to Miami (specifically while on Seven Mile Bridge, or not). Another special thanks to Peter for all his help with editing this video, he did a spectacular job (he edits videos for his real job too, so he's really good)! Also, we put some more picturesque photos of Key West and some of its points of interest that we found online below the video for your viewing pleasure. So, here you go and enjoy! =-)

Pictures of Key West and some of its points of interest:


Another shot of Duval Street (the calmer end)



The home of Ernest Hemmingway, one of the popular tourist attractions in Key West



A shot of another pretty beach in Key West


Another cool shot of a ship at sunset. We ate at the cafe on the waterfront seen in this picture at sunset and it was a gorgeous view. Tons of sail boats and ships went floating by as we ate. Also, there were several street performers entertaining the crowds (such as a guy juggling an assortment of flaming objects). So, the waterfront is definitely a cool place to go hang out & eat at around sunset if you're ever down there.

As the title states, this part of the video is footage from our time spent in Key West (mostly of Duval Street on the other/party end of it). A special thanks again to Peter for all his help with editing this video, he did a spectacular job (he edits videos for his real job too, so he's really good)!

Pictures of Key West and some of its points of interest:


Shot Of the Episcopal Church on Duval Street as seen in our video


Shot of Key West's Lighthouse. They intentionally built it short to increase the likelihood of ships crashing on the reefs here. Ship salvaging was one of the first and primary sources of revenue and job/economy growth in Key West. That's why so many movies like Fools Gold are shot here, because there really are several shipwrecks still out in the ocean to discover and scavenge.



Another beautiful sunny day on a beach in Key West


Another beautiful shot of a sailboat at sunset
