Think of Florida and your thoughts will undoubtedly lead to powdery white beaches and Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney World is truly an American icon, and has brought countless starry-eyed visitors of all ages to the United States since its opening in 1971. Yet Florida is so much more than Disney. Believe it or not, Florida was settled before the English landed in Jamestown. Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon landed in 1513, and St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest city in the United States. The state has been ruled by five countries, making it a real cultural gumbo. The east coast of Florida has recently become populated with “snow birds” escaping the New York winters, while the west coast receives more Midwesterners and Canadians who add to the cultural mix. Northern and southern Florida are dramatically different. The northern part of the state is considered “Original Florida,” and some would say it’s more traditionally “southern” than the south of Georgia. South of interstate I-4, the state is more diverse and has a more cosmopolitan flair, as this is where the mix of many cultures has taken place.
Then, there’s the weather – sunny, sunny weather. On as many as 361 days every year, radiant sunshine toasts the powdery beaches and palm trees sway in a gentle breeze for at least part of the day. The Tampa daily newspaper guarantees that if the sun does not come out on any particular day, the newspaper is free. Now that’s sunshine confidence! Enjoy the diversity of landscapes, cultures and flavors that Florida has to offer. You’ll find scenic drives, historic downtowns, sophisticated cities, and entertainment and attractions to suit every age and interest. Admire lush gardens and great architecture, or spend the day on one of her famous beaches or with one of her most famous residents. Relax, kick off your shoes, and enjoy it all.
