Dear Aunt Eva, We drove to Key West today and stopped to see Howard Andrews.... Yesterday we went to the Seaquarium and loved it. K has been a very good girl. We are planning to take her fishing on the beach tomorrow. Spent a very fascinating day in the Everglades. Saw some deer and racoon very close. Must have been 85° at Key West today.Language
