Our cousin suggested we tour this area of Miami that has taken grafitti art to a new level of excellence... We would have enjoyed spending more time there, but even a quick drive can provide some amazing views....
The Fort guarding St. Augustine is a National Park site, so for us "seniors" the $10 for life pass got us ALL in to visit... what a bargain..... There are wonderful displays and a Ranger talk is always great as well.... There are now scheduled firings of the cannons.... not every day....
Friends and I enjoyed our stay at this panhandle beach. It was windy and cool while we were there but the beauty and width of the beaches is impressive.
The Edison and Ford Winter Estates have a historical museum and a large botanical garden. It sits beside the Caloosahatchee River. Both Edison's home (Seminole Lodge) and Ford's home (The Mangoes)are open for public tours. This is the site of the Edison Botanic Research laboratory where he investigated using plant based rubber instead of synthetic rubber. The museum has half glass walls up on the porches which allow you to see into almost every room. There is also vintage music playing as you visit. This is a "midnight" garden with plants specifically designed to either bloom or be more fragrant in the late evening hours....
