Key West

Key West lies near the end of the chain of islands known as the Florida Keys, and is the southern-most city in the continental United States. This city, with its rich history and ravishing natural bauty, is probably the best known small town in United States. It has an average annual temperature of 77 degrees and rarely varies more than 10 degrees in either direction. It has never seen frost or snow and averages only 39 inches of rain per year. You'll have plenty of time to walk in the footsteps of Thomas Edison, Lou Gehrig, Harry Truman and Tennesses Williams. The streets are filled with sidewalk cafes, open-air bars, legendary pubs and world-class restaurants. Only in Key West would the sun shine brightest when it sets. Each day's setting sun is celebrated and sometimes even applauded at Mallory Dock, where artisans, muscians, and street performers pack the city pier as the sunsets shimmer over the Gulf of Mexico.
