DOVER-ROMAN QUAY I HAD TO STOP BY A PUB AND INVESTIGATE THE MEANING OF THEIR NAME. THE PEOPLE INSIDE TOLD ME HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO THAT PARTICULAR PART OF DOVER WAS UNDER WATER. THE AREA, AT THAT TIME, WAS CALLED THE ROMAN QUAY. (US AMERICANS WOULD SAY "KEY" FOR "QUAY.") IN THE STATES THERE IS THE FLORIDA KEYS, THE 3RD LONGEST KEY IN ALL THE WORLD WITH A SPECTACULAR CORAL REEF. I KNOW, I'VE SEEN IT. THAT AREA HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR PEOPLE LIKE JIMMY BUFFETT, ERNEST HEMINGWAY AND TRUMAN CAPOTE HANGING AROUND.
