the butterfly conservatory

the butterfly conservatory was about the last thing on my list of "places to visit in key west," but honestly, it was so incredibly hot outside, that we walked in to escape the heat & soak up the a.c. & ended up sticking around. we were so happy we stumbled across it, because it was pretty amazing. butterflies just floating around all over the place. it was like being in a mariah carey video or something.
