A nearby railroad, no longer in use, has been transformed into the Nature Coast State Trail for hikers, bike riders, and horseback riders. The history of the Suwannee and its namesake song are described in the story River of Time. T he southernmost town in the continental United States, Key West is brimming with festivals, art galleries, writers' groups, music, fishing, and delicious food. The town's romantic history is most evident in the Hemingway Days Festival, which includes literary workshops, a Papa look-alike contest, street fairs, a regatta, the famous Key West Marlin Tournament, and a key lime pie eating contest. W hether Key Lime Pie really originated here is hotly debated.
Key limes are a small, yellow-colored fruit, about as big as a golfball.
Be sure to get some of the pie when you're in Key West, or make your own at home. Combine all ingredients, blend until smooth. Pour filling into a 9-inch graham cracker crust and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Refrigerate for at least three hours. Just before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with lime slices.
