Since 30 years Florida has been booming! Only now, after visiting Florida, I understood finally why.

Florida stays under the continue threat of huricanes. It is a low land, with the highest point at 345 meters in Walton County, and strong huricanes( remember huricane Andrew?) are a big danger for Florida’s wonderful beaches.

Florida has a subtropical climate( which turns to tropical in the south Florida) which is very mild, and has also big vacation villages. Florida is entirely a resort, I would say. Very attractive and not very expensive, a real heaven on Earth. I would have stayed longer in Florida, but I couldn’t. Nevertheless, I will come back soon.

During the last decades Florida’s population grew up from 2 millions to 18 millions, and so Florida became one of the most populous U.S. state(the fourth, to be exactly).

I discovered in Florida the Everglades National Park, which is a protected water area, very populated with aligator( do not swim there).

I discovered also the fine Florida’s beaches( beware of sharks). But before all, I discovered a county which is much different than the rest of Florida; it is Walton County by the name, and has a hilly terrain, differing from the rest of Florida.

Over there, in the Village of South Walton, I spent a few days and nights. This is a hidden treasure, one of the newest developpment on 30 A. I fished there, boated, wave ran and other water sport(on the renowned Sea Crest Beach), and also I rode the bike on A 30, which is a 9 km bike path. It was nice and relaxing.

I hope to go back soon, meet you there.
