National Key Deer Refuge
Visited an extraordinary expanse of sea islands. This area contains 22 threatened or endangered species. Saw Key deer everywhere along the road. They are very small about the size of a medium dog.

No Name Pub
Had lunch at the oldest pub in the area. Friendlly people, long history, great food, lousy service ( that is what their menu says), and a beautiful garden. Decorated with live key deer.
