Flo-rida

Having been here in Florida for several days, I have to say that [despite my initial misgivings] I kinda like the place. The service in bars and restaurants has the same cloying "have a nice day" shite that you expect in the USA, but in most cases they REALLY MEAN IT.
They are just nice people. Mostly from central America or Cuba, the staff in the restaurants and bars are intelligent, multi-lingual folk who like what they do.
Compare that to the average barmaid in Liverpool, whose first greeting might be, "What do you want?"
We have attended the wedding of two pals [which is why we're here] and just hung out with friends so far, but tomorrow we are off to Universal Studios - might be a knackering experience.......
