Our next stop was Key West. Perhaps not everyone knows this place, so it's better to explain that the Florida Keys are a chain of islands in the south of Florida, and Key West is the southernmost of them. It was around 10 p.m. when our bus reached the last island. We gathered our things slowly, stepped off the bus yawning and stretching, and almost fell over! I stood on the steps, gulping down the air, unable to get enough. I wanted to dissolve into that sweet evening air... It was a mix of everything: the scent of flowers, the sea breeze, the warmth of the departing day, and the bitter smoke of cigars... For the first time in my life, I felt like I knew how to breathe. I don't know the best words to describe this place... Forget everything you knew about America and try to imagine a small island washed by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. Where the streets are full of Cubans selling coconuts and rolling cigars. Where they make the most delicious pie in the world – Key West Lime Pie. Where every evening on the waterfront, they celebrate the sunset with dances, shows, and fireworks. You can try to imagine it, but it's better to see it with your own eyes. Believe me, you'll find plenty to do there! #KeyWest #FloridaKeys
