America is beautiful. It is undeniable if you have ventured beyond the limits of most tourists *cou-DisneyLand-gh*. I have been lucky enough to spend the past month living and road tripping around the south-east and I say again, America is beautiful.
The diversity is what has knocked me most. How can you have the lanscape of the Everglades, full of Aligators, snakes and marsh land that you can ride an airboat over, only 40 miles away from Miami beach. Land of amazing art, incredible energy, a hugely spanish influenced culture and party central.
Go north to Orlando, the home of Theme Parks, Convention centres and more kinds of entertainment than you can imagine and yet 100 miles north you hit the country. The out of the way towns and villages where you hear Ma'am and Sir, receive southern hospitality and can drive through the smallest towns in a blink of an eye.

| Welcome to the Everglades |
 |
| Aligators everywhere |
 |
| The bling bling of Miami |
 |
| Unique art on every corner |
 |
| I dont think my little town would have its own Vodka! |
 |
| Tallahassee BBQ Cooking - in a Beatle car oven |
 |
| A real Southern house |
And that is just Florida.
This trip has taken me as far north as North Carolina and I can already tell I am missing out of a ridiculously large slice of Amrerican culture by not seeing any of the west side or going further North.
Out of everywhere I have been this is by far the place that still feels I need another lifetime to explore some more.
