On our way to Key West on Saturday, February 6, 2010, we waited until we were on our way on the Route 1, known as “The Overseas Highway,” before we looked for a local place to eat.
The Overseas Highway connect 29 of the 200 islands we know as the archipelago, the Florida Keys.
The route was originally established as a railroad built by Henry Flagler. A horrific hurricane struck the Keys on September 2, 1935 and irreparably wrecked the railroad.
The railroad was replaced with the Overseas Highway for automobile traffic, which opened in 1938.
We found the Green Turtle Inn after traveling about 20 miles and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.
According to the web site for the restaurant, http://www.greenturtlekeys.com/: “Green Turtle Inn Restaurant / We have been a Keys tradition since 1947 / Located at MM 81.5 Islamorada, Florida Keys / Phone: 305-664-2006 / Email: info@greenturtlekeys.com.”
