encountered many exotic species of birds, including a shiny colored navy blue bird, which happened to land right in

another first for me, & (5) the Everglades.
beaches, much upscale shopping, very nice homes, condos and hotels & (2) me hangin' on this popular pier.
planted tropical plants from all over the world here, including a Banyan tree, which is now the third largest
(diameter) in the world, (3) a couple antique Ford motor cars & (4) Edison's winter laboratory - he produced

pure white, soft sand that I had ever been to – very beautiful setting & (2 & 3) I toured the estate of John & Mable
