Before leaving Florida they visit ed Daytona Beach, Palm Beach and Miami Beach. They spent a day driving out to Key West on the Oversea highway which they aaid was most enjoyable, as they drove out over the ocean for so many miles.

Some of the keys were quite large and have tourist courts and resorts. All seemed to be prepared for hurri canes. Many people were fishing. One oddity was that they saw chil dren wading with the water only up to their knees and just a short distance from there the water would be deep enough for a boat. The United States Navy has a large base there. They learned that sponge fishing is important there. Other famous placea in Florida that the Hoffees visited were the Cypress gardens and Silver springs. Their next stop was New Orleans where they went sight-seeing.
