While driving on the road, there are moments when the surrounding area falls into a peaceful silence, and the scenery around me takes on a breathtaking beauty. The tranquil sea, billowing clouds, and swaying trees all seem to exude a calming presence that eases the drowsy warmth that threatens to overtake me at any given moment.
As I run along the scenic road that winds its way through the Florida Key islands, the color of the seawater seems to change with every passing moment, depending on the angle and intensity of the sunlight. The charming little villages that dot the landscape give off a distinct countryside vibe, and each island boasts its own unique features and attractions. Despite the beauty of this place, it is not without its dangers, and some of the islands bear solemn monuments to commemorate those lost in devastating hurricanes that have ravaged the region in the past.
