Hiya Gang, Little Fox relaxing and chilling. I really fit into the Florida Keys lifestyle.
Now, it's time to explore. First I watched people feed the Tarpon fish at Robbie's Marina.
The fish know how to jump so it's safer for me to hang out with the roommates. Next stop is the Dolphin Research Center. 
The 7 mile bridge is quite the engineering feet.
It's Pigeon Key, a former rest stop when it was a interstate highway but before that it was a railroad work camp. When the railroad was built in the early 20th century by Henry Flagler (and crew) Pigeon Key was a work camp for the people who built the railroad.
A refuge for 27 dolphins who are not able to be released back to the wild.
Dolphins are so cool (like foxes). There is more to the middle keys than dolphins and Robbies. The old 7 mile bridge has walkable sections and some of the sections are bikeable as well.
Next up. A little bike adventure.
The old 7 mile bridge is right next to the new one. Fun fact, it was originally a railroad bridge, then in the 1930s the state transformed it into an automobile bridge. It was in use until 1982 when the new bridge opened.
See that island?

A short 2 mile bike ride later I reached the end of the bridge.
Pigeon Key was originally established as a temporary camp for workers building the Overseas Railroad. During that time, the buildings were left unpainted since they were not intended to be permanent. Later, the site was preserved and transformed into a historic landmark to honor its role in Florida's railroad history.
My roommates found a great place on the Atlantic Ocean. Time for a little break.
Should I take a chair or a lounger?
