My first time visiting Key West I had no idea what to expect in 2011. Some of our friends moved across the country so we lost contact for many years. We finally started hatching a plan to catch up and take a weekend trip together.
The plan was simple. Meet in North Florida and the 8 or so of us will embark on a road trip in an RV to Key West. Once we got there we checked into the hotel and took a little bit to admire the sights. Really beautiful area.
First night there we decide to cut loose and enjoy ourselves that night. Plenty of festivities to enjoy, everything was in full swing and the streets were packed.
I heard Duval Street was a bit of a hotspot, so late that night we made our way over after dinner and (many) drinks. One club in particular caught our eye, huge line outside, flashing lights, loud music etc.
We make our way inside and this seems like the place to be. Lots of people, fun and friendly atmosphere and 3 stories of the club to explore. First floor was fun, but your standard fare. We spent some time talking to other random people and they all implored us to visit the second floor and finally the rooftop.
Next stop was the second floor. Even more people, a bit more provocative, lots of skimpy outfits and dancing. Again, more people we spoke with said to definitely check out the rooftop.
So with the hype in full swing and a healthy amount of drinks in our system we finally make our way up the dimly lit staircase up to the roof. Music seemed even louder, lights flashing even more intensely and a massive crowd of people on the roof.
We take a moment to survey the scene as the song playing wraps up. The music fades away and sound of the crowd begins to fill the void. The DJ starts playing the "Cupid Shuffle" song and all of the sudden the crowd begins to disperse giving us a glimpse of the dance floor in front of us.
The lights come on full blast and the bass begins to thunder and then the 8 or so of us let out a collective gasp, followed by the biggest laugh of the night...
We stumbled upon Key West's nude dance club. Coincidentally it was called the Garden of Eden.
About 100 or so people of all shapes and sizes, ages and genders dancing naked on the rooftop under the Florida moonlight to the Cupid Shuffle. I'll never unsee what I saw that night but we all still joke about it to this day.
