Hello! What's up, friends?
Welcome to a new video! I am Oscar Alejandro.
And as it was already seen in the title of this chapter,
we are where the US ends.
Or depending on the point of view,
we are where the country begins.
Because I am in Key West.
Let's say exactly 90 miles from Cuba, from Havana, seriously.
Well, on this tour, in this chapter
You will accompany me so that you know
what the first or last town in this country is like.
This here is called Southernmost.
Southernmost in English means, as far south as.
But here it's like: The southernmost beach, the southernmost house,
the southernmost museum, all the southernmost is this island.
Join me on this tour to see what the last town is like,
or how the first southernmost city in the United States is.
To get to Key West we can do it by plane
Because there are direct flights from major US cities or by car.
From Downtown Miami it's about three and a half hours
Before arriving at our destination we will know the main islands,
which are Key Largo, Isla Morada and Marathon.
Just after this island we will cross the seven mile bridge
in which we can enjoy an incredible view.
Because we will practically feel flying over the Atlantic Ocean
with an impressive sea, of thousands of shades of blue.
Already reaching the last key, we realize that it is actually a small city
with all the services of a metropolis.
♪♪♪
Well, let's start our tour.
We reach the southernmost beach in the US,
for you to know, this is Southernmost Beach...
What a bad English!
What is the southernmost beach in this country like?
Well, see it... This is the entrance.
Says: "Welcome to South Beach, Key West",
"Southernmost beach in the continental USA".
What a bad English!
What is the southernmost beach like?
Let's see, I want to show you to see
that after this beach there is nothing else in this country.

Well, and another mandatory stop to take a picture, is here in this corner,
where as you can see, there, on that sign marks the beginning of the US 1.
The number one highway in the USA.
But it is interesting because, as you see, this side is the beginning of the road...
On the other side of the sidewalk is the end of Highway 1.
So, well... An excellent spot that is exactly in the corner of Fleming St with Whitehead St.
♪♪♪
Without a doubt, another place that you cannot miss is The Little White House.
Yes, as you listen, this house that I have behind me
it was where the president of this country, who ruled from 1945 until 1953...
He adapted it, conditioned it, to be an official presidential residence.
And well, today it is an amazing museum.
Join me to see what a house looks like where a US president really ruled.
♪♪♪
We are about to enter The Little White House.
Let's see how it goes...
And we are entering a souvenir shop.
And it is an official souvenir shop of the presidency of this country.
Well, you will see things like, for example, a movie...
This is a true shirt worn by the president of the United States.
Harry Truman
And well, it belonged to him.
Interesting!
No, it's really boring.

Woao! Look what you can find in the streets of this island...
This gigantic statue that recreates the moment of that iconic photo,
which was captured on August 14, 1945.
When a very happy sailor came out and kissed a nurse in the middle of a street.
Do you remember this image that you are seeing now?
Well, here in Key West you can find this gigantic statue
so that everyone recreates that passionate moment.
♪♪♪
Well, we are coming to what is officially considered the southernmost point of the USA
But before arriving we find the southernmost, southernmost of this country.
And I am not exaggerating.
Look how this board says.
The Southernmost Southernmost House in the USA.
What a bad English!
Look... After this house, everything ends.
♪♪♪
Well, friends... We arrived at the most important place on this island.
The southernmost southernmost site in the US.
And to commemorate and to mark this place is this stone,
buoy, marker, I don't know what to call this.
But this monument indicates that US is over.
We are at the southernmost point of this territory.
And, of course, it says here exactly, that we are 90 miles from Cuba.
That is, that sea, that you are seeing there
is literally what they call the sea of ​​happiness.
Bad joke only for Venezuelans.
Will he be as happy as they say?
I don't know, all I can tell you is that many people make a line,
that I'm going to show you, to take a picture.
The iconic photo that if you are there
there is no person who is southernmost of the US... Than you!
Join me to see how we took this picture.
♪♪♪
Woao!
I am arriving at one of the sites that is already my favorite here on this island,
and it's Malory Square, The Mallory Square.
And why is it so wonderful?
Because people choose it to come take pictures just before sunset.
And the photos here are amazing.
And not only that, but there are many jugglers,
there are artists, there are singers, there are guitarists.
You can eat a little, there is even someone who reads cards.
It is definitely the best spot to come to end the day on this island.
♪♪♪
Well, and with this breeze we finish this wonderful tour of Key West,
in which I had a great time, I hope you enjoyed the video too.
And before finishing, some small recommendations
You can come to Key West to stay one or two nights.
The party, the nightlife is wonderful,
but book early because if you arrive on the island
and you start looking for last-minute rooms, you probably won't get it,
because this island is always full of tourists.
But if you come from Miami,
it is an incredible plan to go to the island and return the same day.
And, of course, don't forget to leave a thumb up by clicking down there,
it is very important that you do it.
Share it with your friends on Facebook and by WhatsApp group messages.
And don't forget to follow me on my social networks.

It will be until a next adventure!
