Once upon a time, long, long ago, I visited Holy Land in Orlando, Florida. It was a surreal experience. Having grown up in a fairly religious family, a visit to a magical world where Jesus was the main source of entertainment was interesting, to say the least. These are the photos from my trip. My...

Of all the wacky fairs I have attended during my visit to Florida, the Pasco County Fair was by far the best. A cute baby contest, full rodeo, and wild amusement rides — need I say more? I started the day at the cute baby contest. Unfortunately, I never found out the exact criteria for...

With the coldest air of the season beating down on New York City, I thought sharing photos from one of Tampa’s most serene spaces was in order.

Yesterday, my mother and I visited the Florida State Fair. For a city girl like myself, this was an introduction to the country life, complete with livestock competitions, homemade concoctions, and everything you would ever need to decorate your house à la Little House on the Prairie. I was excited for this anthropological road trip, and...

Happy new year, everyone! I hope you all are enjoying a little ‘down time’ — I certainly am. I’m spending time with my family in Florida, and we recently took a trip to Jacksonville to visit with my aunt and cousins. The trip was great, especially the side trip to a little town called Micanopy. ...
