Florida! Who Knew?
I live in Ft Pierce, FL since 1998 and until you took some really nice pictures, I never knew how nice it would be to travel FLORIDA. I am newly retired and now thanks to you I think I will buy a small RV and see Florida!.

Know the area so well. Our hotel was "Sandy Shores" two hotels from "John's Pass" You take delightful pictures Moe. Hope you don't mind but I absconded with a couple of beauties. Cheers Terry (Canada)
