Busch Gardens Celebrates for Halloween:

Image
Attending Busch Gardens last night, we could see the decorations that were already in place for the kickoff of Howl-O-Scream, their Halloween celebration. The scare zones are in place, the haunted houses are set up, the Midway is ripe for scares and Candy. Howl-O-Scream officially starts Sept. 5 and ends Nov. 1 in 2025, with select nights having the added bonus of Kandy’s Sweetacular Celebration with trick-or-treating. Asistiendo a Busch Gardens anoche, pudimos ver las decoraciones que ya estaban en su lugar para el inicio de Howl-O-Scream, su celebración de Halloween.

Gilchrist Blue Springs

Image
This is one of those places where the water is so clear, it almost looks fake. If you are into water sports, especially snorkeling and diving, then the natural springs in Northern and Central Florida are an untapped adventure awaiting for you. On this particular voyage, we explored Ruth B. Gilchrist State Park in High Springs, Florida. Este es uno de esos lugares donde el agua es tan clara que casi parece falsa. Si te gustan los deportes acuáticos, especialmente el snorkel y el buceo, entonces los manantiales naturales en el norte y centro de Florida son una aventura sin explotar esperándote. En este viaje en particular, exploramos a Ruth B. Parque Estatal Gilchrist en High Springs, Florida. Visiting this pristine water is like stepping back in time. The ambience includes some of Florida’s mossy trees and a bumpy dirt path leading into the park, providing the perfect place to disconnect from the frequencies and reconnect with nature. It’s not the flashiest of the Florida Springs, as i...

Renovation After Hurricane: Renovación Después Del Huracán

Image
One of my real estate customers recently purchased a home in Florida that she wanted to renovate after it had been damaged by the hurricanes. As with any renovation project, you never know what is lurking below the surfaces that you cannot see.  In this case, we discovered mold that had been hidden underneath flooring that seemed viable at first. Una de mis clientas de bienes raíces compró recientemente una casa en Florida que quería renovar después de haber sido dañada por los huracanes. Como con cualquier proyecto de renovación, nunca sabes lo que aceca debajo de las superficies que no puedes ver. En este caso, descubrimos moho que se había escondido debajo del suelo que parecía viable al principio. There can be hidden surprises and silent threats, such as discovering mold and/or asbestos on the job site.  Safety standards are always important, such as wearing a respirator, safety glasses, close-toed shoes, and gloves. As seen in the video, accidents occur unexpectedly. Pued...

Sunset Waterviews Islamorada

Image
When traveling down US 1 to explore the Florida Keys, the sunset is on one side of the highway, while the sunrise is on the other. If you are heading south, and you are looking for that sunset, you will want to look on your right hand side. If you’re around the Key Largo area, one of my favorite sunset spots is the Islamorada Fish Company and World Wide Sportsman, which provides awesome waterfront views, food, water sports and unexpected surprises. Al viajar por la US 1 para explorar los Cayos de Florida, la puesta de sol está en un lado de la carretera, mientras que el amanecer está en el otro. Si te diriges hacia el sur y estás buscando esa puesta de sol, querrás mirar a tu derecha. Si estás cerca del área de Key Largo, uno de mis lugares favoritos para la puesta de sol es Islamorada Fish Company y World Wide Sportsman, que ofrece increíbles vistas frente al mar, comida, deportes acuáticos y sorpresas inesperadas. World Wide Sportsman, located on the Overseas Highway, houses some hid...

Rock City Gardens

Image
Have you ever wanted to walk inside of a fairytale where trolls and gnomes just might be real? Have you ever been curious to know what their houses might really look like? Before people were busy chasing virtual creatures, people roam through the mountains, looking for the homes of trolls and gnomes, and they might as well be at Rock City Gardens. ¿Alguna vez has querido caminar dentro de un cuento de hadas donde los trolls y los gnomos podrían ser reales? ¿Alguna vez has tenido curiosidad por saber cómo podrían ser sus casas en realidad? Antes de que la gente estuviera ocupada persiguiendo criaturas virtuales, la gente deambula por las montañas, buscando los hogares de trolls y gnomos, y también podrían estar en Rock City Gardens. Home to the Fairytale Caverns, which have only been perfected since the 1930s, this is the landscape where fairytales come true. Glancing around, you will see gnomes in their homes. They may be tenting on the side of the mountain, or buried deep within a cav...

Metallica in Nashville

Image
H eading to Nashville with my alumni from Ozzfest 2002 for my birthday, we had to see both Nashville shows, as it was early in the Season 72 tour for Metallica with Suicidal Tendencies, Pantera, Ice Nine Kills, and Limp Bizkit. Not following TLC’s advice, we went chasing waterfalls on the off day, taking in all of Tennessee’s natural beauty for returning to rock the second night of the shows. Luckily, we were able to catch some of my favorite songs from each of the bands, which are featured on the highlight reel. Dirigiéndose a Nashville con mis exalumnos del Ozzfest 2002 para mi cumpleaños, tuvimos que ver ambos espectáculos de Nashville, ya que fue temprano en la gira de la temporada 72 para Metallica con Suicidal Tendencies, Pantera, Ice Nine Kills y Limp Bizkit. Al no seguir el consejo de TLC, fuimos a perseguir cascadas en el día libre, tomando toda la belleza natural de Tennessee para volver a rockear la segunda noche de los espectáculos. Afortunadamente, pudimos ver algunas de m...
