3/16/2014 - Had a large breakfast prepared by the men - pancakes, eggs, and bacon. 80 degrees and sunny today. We went to Coral Castle. Very interesting, the short story is the the man who built it was in love with a young girl who rejected him the day before their wedding, he left Latvia and came to the US. He worked a few jobs out west then came to Florida where he built the castles for his lost love. He never married.
He cut the stones from his own quarry, shaped them and placed them in the area - by himself. No one knows how he accomplished this. A truly amazing feat. If you are headed to the keys, it is beside US1 in Florida City, take a visit.
