Even on vacation...
hundreds of miles away from where you live...
you can't get away from who you are and where you came from.

Yep, Florida is full of little gems like that. The state's historical link with Spain and colonial Cuba is something that is often overlooked.
Another example: The city of Ocala in north-central Florida was once known as Marti City.

Henry,
I live in So California and while traveling withint he state I saw a great old town called Solvang. I think it is an old Dutch town with lots of charm and one of the old Spanish Missions is there. My family and I took the tour and noticed that the original Padre was buried in the church(typical)and the tombstone read that he was born in Havana, Cuba.
