Kirkegaards On Vacation Through the Florida Keys
A travel narrative from Denison recounts a family road trip to Florida's Keys and Key West. The author describes crossing a multi‑lane highway network, language barriers at a gas station, sights from Key Largo to Key West, and mentions relatives, local history, and Hemingway’s home. The piece closes with a note on typhoid warnings in Miami and a stop at John Pennekamp State Park.
