What I miss about Florida

  • Too Jay's
  • Memories of India
  • PR's
  • everything Disney: hotels, restaurants, the very curves in the pathways, how it's always there for excitement on any given day
  • being 45 minutes from the ocean
  • smelling the ocean from 45 minutes away
  • Tony's deli/bakery
  • the houses in my neighborhood
  • the PORCH
  • the green
  • the green
  • the green
  • the odd centralness of Orlando due to tourism
  • the streets leading to Lake Formosa or whatever it is over there
  • Ichiban
  • Roly Poly
  • the malls, yes, oh yes, the malls, and Birkenstock stores
  • Mount Dora
  • the brightness
  • the flowers
  • the smell in the air in February
  • the orange and grapefruit juice
  • the night sounds and smells
and you people.

Yay! Not the missing part, I mean: poor Fla gets badmouthed so often, I'm always happy to hear its happy good bits extolled. :D

I add: in Feb-March, the tangy-sweet scent of orange blossoms blooming. I don't care what it does to my allergies, it smells like heaven itself.
