We’re so glad that we’re in Florida now –sunshine and 75 degree weather! It’s been wonderful. :D
We love to stop at quirky little places and this place fits right in. It was built by Edward Leedskalnin as a tribute to a girl from his hometown in Latvia. She broke off their engagement and he moved to the US. Then from 1923 to 1951, he single-handedly and secretly carved over 1,100 tons of coral rock, and his unknown process has created one of the world's most mysterious accomplishments. Some of the rocks weight 58 tons but he set them in place without any help!
Another interesting spot was the Fruit and Spice Park. It’s a educational county park and has tasting tours of the exotic fruits and nuts that grow on the park grounds. The guides pick samples right from the trees. Any fallen fruit is also fair game –but we were too chicken to try that stuff!
