During the time that I’ve been based in Tallahassee Florida for research with Florida State University I’ve had various opportunities to wonder all around Florida. This summary summarizes all my Florida travels with links to the various posts detailing my adventures.
West Coast Florida
The trip to the west coast I did with my visiting family, who came down to sunny Florida in January. After the freezing cold in New York City, the sunshine state was a relief. We first started off with Tampa bay area, going down to Sarasota, and then headed to the east coast to see a bit of Orlando and Palm Beach.
