Oh La Mer... (Where to stay in Key West)

Whole-hearted plug time! La Mer Bed & Breakfast, part of the "Southernmost Collection of Hotels" in Key West. Go to there! It feels more like a little hotel-in-a-conch-house than a B&B. Quiet and beautiful, right on a tiny strip of sandy beach and featuring great service (or lack thereof, if you want to be left alone). Above is the fountain and garden path between La Mer and its sister inn, Dewey House.

Key West has lizards! They're still as tough to shoot as ever.

Flowers!

Bananas!

Dewdrops!

Awesome white noise generator at night.

Shot from our porch during one of those 15-minute rain showers, this is the beachside café, finally reopened 3 years after Hurricane Georges.

Our view. No wonder Hemingway loved this town. Sitting on a porch like this in the sweetly sticky breeze, how can you not want to just drink rum and write novels - after a nice nap, of course!
