I love Spanish Revival architecture, and there's a lot of it in Florida - especially in Tampa & St. Pete, St. Augustine, and Palm Beach. I'm sure some would think it gaudy, but I like it. There are lots of Florida folk musicians and storytellers who sing of the history and nature and lore of Florida, but they're hard to find except during the festivals. My folks moved to Sarasota in 1981, so I visited Florida lots of times over the years. Oh, and the other thing I like about Florida is winter birdwatching. I try to stay out of Florida during "the season" - Jan 1 to Easter. Too damn many tourists. -Joe-
