Did you know that they grew—-or whether Captain Benjamin Baker, who relocated from Key West to do so, grew pineapples on Key Largo in 1865 and by 1871 he had gotten the wooded land cleared, planted and harvested enough to have made $7,000 for his efforts. and by the 1880s the crop was said to have yielded almost 500,000 of the individual fruits.
Wandering why you’ve never see any such farms when you visit….well in 1906 the weather (think hurricane) destroyed most of the crops. And by 1912 Cuba’s crop which was priced considerably cheaper than Key Largo’s struck the final blow to the Key Largo’s pineapple crops.

And we can’t forget Key West that once was the wealthiest city per capita in the whole US. While the Key was still Spanish territory it was givn to a Spanish soldier Juan Pablo Salas in 1815, who sold it 7 years later (1822) to Simonton (whose name still graces a street in town) for $2,000—-and Simonton started a permanent (the island’s first) settlement. Shortly after that the Navy sent that Commadore we talked about on the Marathan incident to Key West to deal with pirates and the like. With the loss of the pirates legal salvaging of ships that went down off the nearby reefs became an expremely profitable business and many came here to make their fortune. Then Congress passed a law which made it possible or the goods to be auctioned off on the island in 1824, Key West soon had all manner of houses doing just that and shortly meeting that wealthies city mark—not bad for an island which was orginally named Cayo Hueso—Island of Bones by the early Spanish adventurers.

I love England and all the ancient house, pubs an other interesting places they have and the various thing they were , then went on to become and still exists today and also the ghost that are said to roam amoung their rooms or where the rooms use to be. Europe and Asia are full of history and the places it was made—-not always great events but inteesting local items which formed things that would some day actually influence great eveents——and how many go back historically to religious institutions.

How about checking out some Florida Islands!!!
Casey Key / Osprey / Nokomis
As Florida islands go this one is a bit on the slim side–while it’s 8 miles long, it’s only a quarter mile wide—as you can see from the picture above this gives many of the properties with a great view on most sides and even some houses with two beaches aceess on their property.
Coming under (at least most of it) Florida’s conservative Laws, has kept this island 15 min south of Sarasota and just a bit south of Siesta Key, with only one road and limited buildings which means it’s mostly rsidental. The island has gone from fisherman’s dwelling in the early days to lovely upscale homes that start in the lower $2 million price area and range up to the high $5 yes millions.

Beach Escape: Longboat Key
Like the majority of these islands this one was a settlemnt for fishermen in the 1880s—–but then this particular island was taken over by a rich and rather famous resident it was changed foreverl
In the late 1920’s the circus came to town as did it’s owner and magnate John Ringling.
Ringling had bridges built by way of St. Armand’s Key
and then he developed St. Armand’s Circle
an upscale shopping area with Galleries, boutique and bistros with well dressed waiters and and world class wine lists.
But the island isn’t just commerical properties there’s also bike paths that run the length of the islands and Parks along those paths with stunning views of the sunset on the ocean side.
And on the bay side are marinas with lots of charter fishing boats for hire and if you want to see more of that Circus guy Sarasota is just a ten minute drive southeast of Longboat—–and there you will find the Ringling Museum including house, gardens, a Circus Museum as well as a beautiful art museum which can take up a good part of a full day and is well worth your time.
Annual events on Longboat include a wine festival with vinters from as far away as France and Sarasota’s French Film Festival many of whom’s participants come to Longboat while their in this area.

Weekend getaway: Hutchinson Island beaches are a blast from the past
Let’s finish up the island visits with a trip over to the East Coast of FLorida. Hutchinson Island is just a little over an hour from Palm Beach International Airport. Once the home of major Pineapple plantations , today you find high rises in the north. Here also you’ll find museums, beaches and golf resorts. While in the south (Martin Co, while the north is in St. Lucie Co) where structures above four stories are forbidden and about half of th 16 mile long beach is undeveloped and where turtle watch is a premier enterprise. And this area is a breeding ground for logger head, leatherneck and green sea turtles with thousands of eggs being laid on their beaches every year. Oh and the Locals’ favorite beach is Bathtube Reef State Park

Ani, Turkey – Haunting Heritage
Church of the Holy Redeemer, Ani, Turkey: In 961 C, th Bagratid Dynasty declared Ani the capital of their new Christian Armenian Kingdom. Some 70 years later Prince Abigharib Pahlavid completed the Church of the Holy Redeemer, or Surp Amenapir Kitch, to house supposed splinters of the True Cross. Abandoned in the 18th c, the church now is on Turkey’s border with modern Armenia. A storm in 1955 and an earthquake in 1988 nearly destroyed the edifice
