After sideshow Bob and many others showed us around town, Dillon and I finally decided on our apartment. We moved in the next day. It's this cute little place right on the canal about 6 houses down from the ocean.
Here in the Keys, everyone refers to mile markers and "bay side" versus "ocean side." The beginning of the keys when you first get into Key Largo is Mile Marker 100. Key West, the very most southern point of the U.S., is Mile Marker 0. We live at Mile Marker 95 on the Ocean side right behind a bright green Key Lime Shop.
Yes, culture shock. We decided not to move down to Key West yet, because it was too much like Boulder--crowded and drunk as hell. It's also very, very dirty and touristy. Key Largo was where we ended up which is awesome because it's pretty much right in between Miami and Key West, both which take about an hour and a half to get to from our place.
The best part of our place, by far, is our beach. I think it was the third or fourth day we moved in that we were walking Avery and we stumbled upon this awesome little nugget.
Literally a five minute walk away, there's a beautiful little local's beach tucked back in this neighborhood that literally no one knows about. We go there almost every day, and it's freakin awesome.
Oh. my. God. Avery loves the water. If I can figure out how to post a video of her swimming dear god I will.
