Miccosukee Resort and Gaming Hotel : A Sanctuary to Escape the Mundane
Key Largo : Dive, Fish and Explore
Road Trip!Out of town trip to Key Largo, Florida. It was a great weather that day and an amazing blue sky was upon us.
Key Largo is a popular tourist destination called "the first of the Florida Keys" because of its northernmost location along the Florida Keys chain. It is the "Dive Capital of the World" because the living coral reef a few miles offshore attracts thousands of scuba divers and sport-fishing enthusiasts, and boasts some of the most fascinating botanical scenery in the state. It is home to the original African Queen boat also known as S/L Livingstone is the boat used in the movie The African Queen in which starred Humprey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.
