I just got home from a super 3 week vacation in Florida !
I had the chance to do some searching with my new detector, see here: http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,258206.0.html
But enough about that.
I had been doing some study in books and internet before we traveled to Florida.
But as you know these will never tell you, how it realy is.
(My family and I visited the western part of the US three years ago, not to compair, but to tell you, that the USA is not completely new to me)
Here some things that I realy noticed in Florida:
- The people we met in Florida were almost always very open and friendly
- More than 50 % of the people that I spoke to, spoke english with an accent, mostly spanish I guess !
(a handful actually didn´t understand my english at all ! )
- Many spoke very well english, but then spoke spanish to their collegues.
- I knew there were many tourists, but the number was overwelming.
- Trafic on the roads on the east coast was much heavier than I had expected.
- The beaches and the water was even nicer, than I could have imagined.
- The animal life is wonderful both on land and in the oceans.
- Florda is certainly a place that I will visit some other time.
As digginman says in his thread I will also say: THANK YOU, FLORIDA !!
