Memories from my 1994's Trip
(It loads slowly because there are plenty of photos)

At the beginning of year 1994 we traveled to U.S.A. with my family. In Florida we visited Miami, Key West, Fort Mayers and Orlando. The photos that follow correspond with the trip that we did to Key West, with a prior delay on Mulberry Island where there is a Park with aquatic life, and where beautiful dolphins can be seen. I had the opportunity to pet one of the dolphins and I can tell you that it is quite an experience. To the right, the dolphin jumps 6 meters to gather his companions.

I was also with the seals, which gave me their flipper and one of them even embraced me! When he did it, his whiskers tickled me and his fins squeezed me very hard!!. Luckily I seated myself near the stage so that they chose me. That's why I am smiling.

In Fort Mayers, which is a very pretty place, Thomas Alva Edison, the famous inventor, had his retirement home. My brother Horacio and I are in the Parking Lot of the Edison's Museum, just preparing ourselves to enter. Alongside the Edison's house is his personal Library. The Museum is full of his inventions. What great mind he had. Some of his friends were Henry Ford, (car manufacturer) who lived next door to him, and Firestone (the one of the tires). Edison helped both of them with very much with his practical ideas in their respective businesses.

Edison had, in his gardens, plants from all over the world . He collected them specially, because he loved Nature. We had never before seen many of these plants!.

In the photo that follows we were resting a little bit while waiting to visit Henry Ford's House. In Ford's Park there were many squirrels and also a great variety of plants from all over the world. The two houses were next to the Bay of Fort Mayers, with a beautiful Vista of the Ocean.

At the Roney Plaza Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida although it was Winter in the Northern Hemisphere we spent every spare moment in the swimming pool enjoying the heated water. Everything was fine until my brothers Julian and Horacio wanted to play with a brick that was at the bottom of the swimming pool, without knowing it was made of chlorine. Latter they couldn't find a way to stop the burning in their eyes from the chlorine. Luckily we could buy redness reliever drops that eased the burning quickly. Now I can understand why they no longer go to the bottom of swimming pools!

In Orlando we visited Epcot Center, Magic Kindom, MGM and the Kennedy's Space Center. In the next photo we see the base of the AT&T's Globe, in EPCOT's main entrance and a Vista of the Imagination's Route, which is a poem to creativity, in the Kodak's Pavilion . The fireworks, laser show and the Sound spectacle at the closing of the day in the Park were the finishing touch of an unforgettable day.
