Sharing the love for my adopted hometown

[vanillafluffy]

This month marks 34 years that I've lived in Florida. (In this very same house, which may help explain why I'm always qvelling about what a MESS this place is!) So, in honor of the anniversary, here's a wee tribute to the Space Coast corner of the Sunshine State.



Florida is not just oranges
We have our share of history
And pop culture references
And the technology of tomorrow

I've only been to Florida ONE time, and that was when I lived in Miami for 4 months in the late 80's (helloooo, Miami Vice). My God, the humidity! It's like trying to breathe through wet cotton. And it appears that everything is bigger in Florida - the leaves on the plants, the BUGS. I remember there were all these cute little lizards scampering up and down the trees in the backyard. The ocean and the city skyline were amazing, though.

My overwhelming impression? Beautiful, interesting place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. ;-)

I haven't been to Miami since...1973?...when we were house-hunting. My mom had aunts who lived there, but she and dad came to the conclusion that they didn't want to be quite THAT close to them, so we ended up 200 miles up the coast. (We still have the bugs and the lizards, though....)
