Florida, Eh? Florida, Eh? is a sparkling new guide to the ‘undiscovered, unsung, unspoiled’ Florida. Its 192 pages are awash with colour, including nearly 150 original photos. Its writing style is upbeat but informative, detailing the highlights of each new discovery in a breezy and highly readable style. Bypassing the theme parks, malls and crowded tourist traps, the authors ventured off the beaten track in search of museums, historic sites, festivals, lodgings, eateries, cultural centres, beaches, gardens, parks, wilderness, quirky attractions and remarkable personalities that few Florida visitors see. Florida, Eh? is not a typical guidebook – it does not attempt to list every hostelry, restaurant and attraction in the state. Instead it reflects the authors’ tastes, prejudices and discoveries and reports on them with humour and perception. Written by Canadians, with a decidedly Canadian slant – who else tacks ‘eh?’ onto every second sentence – this book appeals to inquisitive travellers of any age and nationality, especially the ‘been-there, done-that’ Florida visitor in search of something unique and different. From the Panhandle across to St. Augustine in the north, down the Atlantic coast to the Keys and up the Gulf coast to the Georgia border, criss-crossing the interior to ferret out historic villages, homesteads and unique personalities, the writers made their merry way, reveling in such discoveries as alligator cooking classes, a sheep dog that herds pelicans, magnificent gardens rescued from development, NASA’s fabulous wildlife preserves, the ‘Road to Nowhere’ -- a wilderness landing strip for drug-laden aircraft, bring-your-own-horse equestrian holidays, a mediaeval monastery transplanted stone by stone to Miami, a superb museum of lighthouses and marine disasters and dozens more unexpected sights. And the people? How about an instructor who teaches paraplegics to sea kayak; a master gardener who spearheaded a public garden teaching kids and adults about plants and plantings; a retired architect who transformed a dilapidated 1935 boat into a nifty bed-and-breakfast; a young man dedicated to saving north-central Florida’s wilderness from development; ghost hunters in St. Augustine; artists and artisans in flea markets. From rock-bottom budget priced to upscale – but with close attention to good value at modest cost – Florida, Eh? encircles the Sunshine State, leading the way to myriad new ways to enjoy one of America’s favourite winter playgrounds.
