Florida is the home of the oldest permanent European settlement.  Colonists from Spain established the town of St. Augustine in 1565.  Since then they have never left the tropical paradise where there are soft sandy beaches that stretch for over 4,000 miles.  Winter is almost nonexistent in this tropical paradise.  Every year people move and travel to Florida for the tropical whether and the endless opportunities.  St Augustine is full of Spanish historic sites including a authentic 16th century castle. Do not forget the world famous city of Orlando with Disney World. Other famous attractions inside Disney world are the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT Center and Disney-MGM Studios. The everglades are home of many alligators, manatees, and panthers.  To best view this city, rent a canoe to explore “the river of grass” where you will weave yourself through mangrove swamps. The biggest city in Florida is Miami, where half of the residents are composed of Latinos.  On the Gulf Coast one of the fastest growing American cities exist, Tampa.  Twenty miles away is the laid-back community of St. Petersburg.  Key West has sunsets that are amazing and a must see in Florida.
