We have made it to Florida! Stacy points out that now we are
REAL retirees!
We entered Florida from Alabama on such a minor road that
there wasn’t even a "Welcome to Florida" sign, let alone a welcome center. This
was our official welcome to Florida.
We spent shabbos at Falling Waters State Park in the
panhandle.
It is a park of superlatives (from the park brochure):
- The park is on one of the highest points in Florida! (324 feet above sea level)
- Florida’s highest waterfall! (73 feet)·
OK, so it isn't Niagara, as Bob pointed out.
But what was really outstanding at this park (no sarcasm
now) is that the water falls into an almost perfectly cylindrical sinkhole that
is 20 feet wide and 100 feet deep! Exceedingly cool. This picture doesn't do it justice.

Fun Fact: The highest point in Florida is at Briton Hill, in the in. At 334 feet above sea level, it is the lowest high point in US.
