Florida

After Orlando and the Kennedy Space Center, I drove down to Key West, the Everglades and Miami.

The main attraction in Key West is Hemmingway’s House.

The house has many windows to cope with the topical climate.

Inside Hemmingway’s House.

In the coach house next to his house, Hemmingway wrote most of his classic novels.

James Bond fans might recognise this as the balcony where James Bond jumps off in the movie Licence to Kill.

The Everglades is a large flooded grassland.

Water flows through it from central Florida to the coast. The Everglades supports a large variety of wildlife, but development that has changed the water flow threatens this habitat.

Miami’s Art Deco District is the largest collection of art deco buildings in the world..

Essex House is a striking example of a corner building.

Classic art deco “eyebrows” help shield the windows from the strong Florida sun.
