We did a 6 mile bike tour of the island today and ended with key lime pie! The history of the island was really fun to learn about including the wreckers (when boats wrecked into the reef the wreckers came to take the goods), the cigar industry, and the military. We also learned about the Truman Annex and the saw the Little White House where President Truman worked part of his presidency. We saw Mile Marker 0, the beginning of Highway 1 and the Southernmost point (which isn't really the correct southernmost point). We learned the sand is brought in each year that the beaches would be stone because of the reefs!
