Soule: Weird Livestock in the Florida Keys
When is a sea urchin helpful? And what's it like to spend two days on a train. The answers are here. Read on.
Ever since reading Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express,” an overnight train has called my name. When husband Bruce suggested we visit a former farm worker who relocated to the Florida Keys, I booked a sleeper car from New York City to Miami. Our “roomette” was twice the cost of an airline ticket but included meals, a personal car attendant, and other perks of first-class travel.
There no murders on the train, but there was drama.
In Miami, we drove to Marathon Key to visit farm friend Duncan Coles and a sea urchin nursery, where I learned that sea urchins are more than a spiny spike in a swimmer's foot.
