St. Mary Star of the Sea and other Key West pics

We stumbled upon this church, appropriately named St. Mary Star of the Sea.

 This is the view from the southernmost point of the continental U.S. looking back towards land at the crescent moon above the Southermost Guest House. We also walked past the Southernmost Hotel and crossed the souternmost intersection. Then we came to the southernmost beach, walked out onto the southernmost pier and for a few brief moments, as I looked out from the edge of the pier I stood as the southernmost man in the continental U.S. Who said I accomplished nothing on this trip? Captain Ken photos

 Going back to St. Mary's, this is the parish's perpetual adoration chapel.

 Inside the chapel

 Child statue at the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes at St. Mary's, Key West. Built by Sister Louis Gabriel of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary in 1922, locals say the grotto has protected Key West from the full brunt of a hurricane since then.

Admiring the parish's Stations of the Cross.

The convent on the parish grounds served as a hospital during the Spanish American War.

Bust of Sister Louis Gabriel in the Key West Town Square.

Now I'm seeing iguanas on the streets. 

Or maybe I was just "wasting away again in Margaritaville" cafe on Duval St.
