roxys writes "Tour I complete of the Florida: Miami, KEY WEST (house of Hemingway, Everglades), Mark Island, NAPLES, FORT MAYRS (house of Edison and Ford), Hemming (Magic Kingdom, Seaworld), Kennedy Space Center (Nasa).

Here following I want my trip to tell you in Florida that the month of August of this year has done.

has first of all been a tour (of approximately 1.500 kms.) fantastic! I have been able to visit and to admire all the principal attractions that he/she offers this splendid state of USA.

After a trip of almost 10 hours I finally reach Miami. Are welcomed by an intense heat and an oppressive damp but all this during my trips passes in second floor and however I prefer of big long the warm one to the cold!

I immediately am liked Miami. has put to the south of the Florida, leaned out on the Atlantic ocean. is divided in the Miami BEACH (where I lodged) and as in the whole great American cities in "downtown" (the city center). Miami Beach is a strip of earth connected by various bridges to them it turns connected to other islets where splendid villas can be admired. One of these were the residence of Marilyn Monroe. Miami Beach offers an immense beach and really of forehead there is the famous one "Ocean Drive", the more known street perhaps in Miami where the more places to the fashion rise. To the evening the street becomes animated above all with lights, colors and Caribbean sounds. This because the Florida being near to the Caribbean absorbs the characteristics as the frequent use of the Spanish language of it.

My trip continues toward south and after a few hours, through the "Keys" I reach KEY WEST. The Keyses are a series of connected islets among them from 42 bridges and the last of these (before reaching Key West) reaches the 11 kms.!
It is a very particular street line: the islets are crossed (very narrow in width), where to the right the Gulf of Mexico is found and to the left the ocean Atlantico.uno show I believe only in its kind.

The island of Key West is also it very frequented and its whole remembers the Caribbean neighbors. It is the more point to south of the United States and dista alone 90 Miles from Cuba. In the lanes the mercatinis rise with the handicraft products and to the evening the places they become animated with music and dances.
Here can be visited one of writer Ernest Hemingway's residences. The house rises on two floors with annexed the study of the writer (once connected by a runner above elevated then destroyed going) and he/she understands a garden with swimming pool. A curiosity they are the famous cats of whom the house and the garden abound.

The day later I do it covers to the "EVERGLADES." They are the famous greater swamps to the world. In their waters the alligators are found. They visits on board of called boats "airboat." Climbing of the corks are distributed for the ears, because these boats going to an elevated speed, they produce a strong noise. The whole is very suggestive it seems really of "to fly" on the swamp. The following day I leave again to the time of Mark Island, an island (also it connected through a bridge) with an immense and beautiful beach. Here I remain one day in total relax to tan me under the warm sun of the Florida and making stupendous baths in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

I continue with a brief standstill to NAPLES. This city characteristic immediately strikes for the order and the cleaning of the roads. Suggestive residences can be admired by the colors crayon and from the harmonica architecture. Besides splendid villas of rich Americans that here they have the summer residence. There and a district called "Venice" for the aspect similar of the afloat houses on the water. You crosses the dock from where some villas are perceived directly leaned out on the beach.

I take back the trip and on the run I stay me in the town of Fort Mayrs to visit the house of Thomas Edison and one of more intimate friends Henry Ford. In the attached museum all the inventions can be admired served as Edison, that goes from the most famous light bulb to pass through the gramophone, the typewriter and numerous varied objects. The furnishing of the residence is practically original of the epoch. The house is surrounded by a botanical garden with a rich and vast vegetation coming from the various continents. Edison was usual to use the plants for own experiments; in fact in the proximities there is the laboratory rich in bottigliette of glass and strange machineries.

You continues with the trip in the inside of the Florida and on the run I stay me to admire the smallest postal office in the United States. It seems the cottage of the puffis, instead it is really a minuscule office funzionante with so much of number of identification.

After various times of journey I come in the other more known city of the Florida or Hemming. This town is exclusively famous all over the world for the amusement park.

I have visited the Magic Kingdom and the SeaWorld. The first one has not thrilled me particularly. I am not here even to describe him/it, it is rather however similar to Eurodisney in Paris it is Eurodisney that has copied the Magic Kingdom.

The SeaWorld has been to little dir instead assisted spettacolare.ho esterrefatta to the exhibition in the tubs of the dolphins and the orcas. Besides to a very amusing show performed by a sea lion. I wonder me as has done to instruct coming them to make to make him impossible and unimaginable things. I make an example: the sea lion that perfectly repeated all the movements of the person, the walrus that spit the water I set to the public for then to cover the eyes with the fins, the dolphin and the orca of turn that performed difficult exercises for then to climb on the platform to take the applauses, or they completed some turns around the tub bathing with the tail the really unbelievable pubblico.tutto!

Besides the amazing shows, in the park I have been able to admire other varied kinds of sea animals. In a part of it the winter environment of the south pole has been recreated for being able to entertain to the best the penguins, the bears, the walruses and the belugas. In another sea environment I have observed from near the dangerous sharks, then still the giant turtle, the flamingos, the toucans etc.. In short I have to say that has been very amusing and enthusiastically, if you go to Florida I recommend him/it to you.

To the evening Hemming offers another type of fun instead, called "DowntownDisney." It is also it a great park that understands varied shops with objects and attire of the products Disney. In more a circus, a disco and local launchings it is attached as the "Planet Hollywood" and others where can be stopped for eating a bit. Here I have passed also a whole and pleasant evening.

I leave Hemming after having spent three very intense days and returning toward Miami I make standstill to the "Kennedy Space Center" more known as her "Nasa." Also here as to the parks is everything one show! I have been able to observe from near the Shutlle and even to climb above; then also the famous one "Apollo 11", even more enormous of the same shuttle and the ramps of throwing.

In a cinema it is assisted to a projection of a film where it appears as the astronauts they live in the space but the most spectacular thing it is the vision that is had some Earth by the spazio.si can clearly see Italy, the perfect outline of the lake of Iseo and the lake of Garda, then still the whole boot going down up to Puglia.

Another amazing thing has been to assist to the "simulation of throwing." In a special room (with commands and the whole material), before to a giant screen, it is assisted to what happens to 3 minutes from the throwing before. When there has been the countdown and the motor roboantis of the Shuttle they have started, the whole room trembled as if also we was partendo.è been really exciting!
Also this has been a very beautiful experience that if it happens you to pass I recommend you to try.
After this last visit return in Miami. The following day I leave with a lot of sorrow the Florida to make reentry in Italy.

A very beautiful and unforgettable trip has been. This was the third time that returned but the United States never ends to catch me!
