A week ago I turned 63 and am still learning. 
The other day I saw something on Facebook, a picture of a show I saw when I was a kid "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." David McCallum. I was thinking ,"I know that name!" I of course researched it. I was like DUH!...... that's Ducky from NCIS
Ok, I always knew The Keys was a part of Florida, where there was usually the storms hit hard, it's beautiful and Ernest Hemmingways home is there. It is an island at the coast. I had some myLot friends mention that they would like to live there but it's expensive so I tried to look up .....The Keys, FL ....... on my Zillow app and no place showed up. I started thinking, could there be another name for it.
Well DUH! again! Key Largo is just not a movie! There are islands and names of parts of it. I still don't know exactly how many and what the names are. I am still researching it.

Learning is a never-ending process. There's something or the other to learn every single day. Even if we live a 100 years and start learning from day one, still we will keep learning till the end. We are talking about years, but I think, even one life isn't sufficient to learn things. If it were possible to calculate percentage-wise, we know even less than 1% of things in the world. Our human brain might be endlessly proficient, but still we have limitations.
Please don't misunderstand anything here. I'm saying this will all due respect dear sir/madam.

Ok so, dear ma'am, (lol), your understanding clearly shows your maturity. And that's what's expected at your age. Yes, I agree. We will never know all the things. It's only God who knows everything. The knowledge in various fields is so vast, we can never touch it all.

Yes, I'm 55 and I'm still learning too! Lots of things they didn't teach us in school. I'm also trying to teach myself Welsh.
I learn things from Doctor Who!

I learn something new every day too. The Florida Keys are some place I'd love to visit one day. Actually I just finished reading a book called Camino Winds by John Grisham and it's story is centered in the Keys. I'm sure someone here can point you in the direction for your Zillow search.

Yes it is! I had a friend that was in her 80's when she got a college degree and had started another one.

Marathon, Key West, Big Pine, Marathon, Key Largo, Islamorada are some of the islands of the Keys. We've been to all of them at least 3 or 4 times. Have a good day.

@dfollin The first time we went in April; and it was horrible. It was SO HOT. The other times we went it's hot and humid; but there's always a nice breeze. Hurricane Opal was stirring around in the Gulf one time and we kept getting thunderstorms from it.
