Well, age has its pains, and ten-hour travel time by bus is not something we can do every day. So our adventures at the Orlando Disneyworld most stop for the moment.
Our sightseeing now includes visiting malls to admire the prices on designer-wear. We’re not surprised the outlet stores don’t have too many customers. Most people are attracted by the ‘sale’ signs, just as we (and women everywhere) are! Florida boasts of its greenery.
Paradise, some call it, especially because of its remarkably moderate weather. This winter however, it was freezing – global warming, we nod knowingly, makes the hot hotter and the cold colder.
In Coral Springs there are a few others sights to see. We go for a short evening cruise along the shoreline. The boat chugs slowly over the calm waters, and the breeze coming inland is cool.
The PA system belts out disco numbers and the boat’s passengers and the crew dance to the music. The lights, the sounds, the weather, provide a carnival touch.
Lights shimmer in the waters, and as the boat goes by, they too dance in unison. The region attracts many, some to reside in large private homes, and others to gawk at them.
Our guides tell us in English and Spanish that celebrities have made the coast their home - among them, Ricky Martin, Christina Aguilar, Elizabeth Taylor.
As true sightseers we stand and stare at the examples of opulence!
