Very unusual park. Very interesting lady! Thanks for giving us fascinating local history. Oh, yes, the Cuban restaurant is a must!

First time to the park it was to late and the park was locked. The 2nd time to the park it was open, so I called my wife to get phone support as to what questions I needed to answer. The geocaching site was having issues and she couldn't get to the page. So, I took a picture of every plaque that featured a woman - including the nun. It was neat area. It was also a little strange. At night - when the park was closed - there were plenty of stray cats. The next night we had dinner at the Cuban resturant, before it was dark, there were all these stray chickens. I wonder when the chickens pass the torch to the cats to guard the area.
If you are here - try the Cuban place - get #80 - a nice sample plate of the different kinds of meat. It was good!!!

1st of 7 finds on our week long cruise. thanks for the fun. I don't think anyone else from the cruise had as much fun or saw as many things as we did while cacheing on several islands. Thanks Smarky

We found this cache while walking around Key West early this morning. There was a rooster walking around the area that apparently fealt we didn't belong there. Thanks for showing us this!
