Hello Florida!

Mt. Dora's version of a "tiangge"
Me at Mt. Dora's downtown


Am new here in Florida and as usual am getting the feel of this place yet.

The glens, the lakes (both natural and man-made),the old towns, the old houses, the country houses with horses, and yes... alligators!

I miss sophisticated California and its 94.7, and hello to Florida's country songs and church music. Hello to beautiful Deland and Mt. Dora (no mountains tho) but quaint towns.

I think I will love it here. I always adapt to places especially when they strike me with something new and old. Also, unlike California, rain comes to us like morning showers here. Something like Sorsogon's cool evening rains...

I also like the people in this Obama county...aggressive and conscientious... no not laid-back, but deeply political and extremely religious but ecumenical in outlook. Now, looks like am getting near the roots of the South... not really the Deep South but quite near.
