My Dear Minnie, well here we are in Key West and after we have looked around will go back to Miami & then on up perhaps to Orlando. It was wonderful to see what has been done in building these bridges. One is 7 miles long and the Gulf of Mexico is on one side & Atlantic Ocean on the other. The air here is so good. Last night we stayed in a motel on one of the Keys. Love HelenaLanguage
