Atlantic boardwalk
A view of the Atlantic from a boardwalk along the ocean in the beaches area. It was nice and peaceful since it wasn't tourist season.

Atlantic boardwalk
The view along the boardwalk. It stretches for a couple miles and makes a nice oceanfront stroll.

Homestead
The engineering marvel of Coral Castle in Homestead. 5-foot-tall Ed Leedskalnin moved tons of coral rock on his own to build this monument to his "Sweet Sixteen." He used only simple tools, and it still is unknown how he raised rocks weighing tons. This is the moon fountain, behind it is the Polaris telescope which is focused on the North Star.

Everglades
The unique and endangered River of Grass - the Florida Everglades. In the past, water has been diverted from the system, though some work is underway to help it recover. I had hoped to see some alligators, but they didn't seem to be home while I was there - great birdwatching though.

Miami Beach
Along one of the main streets in Miami Beach. This area is all spruced up with colorfully painted buildings, a lot of them Art Deco style. It looks equally cool at night.

Tampa
A little house near Tampa. The neighborhood had all these cute houses, you can also see the Spanish Moss hanging from the trees.
