Florida is one of the southeastern states in the United States of America.  This tourist haven is a popular winter destination for the high heeled ones of territories with colder climates and has continuously gained ever greater popularity ever since.  The capital of Florida is Tallahassee, located in the eastern portion of the Florida Panhandle.  Florida is the most southern of all US states other than Hawaii.  It is an interesting mix of varied societies.  The cultural basin of the South, as Florida is sometimes known, is where you will find rich traditional southern cooking, entertainment, dialect, and lifestyles.  Generally, as you go further down south, the more unlike the South it seems, and the lesser of the experience of ‘southern’ culture is perceptible.  Cities such as Tampa and Orlando offer the feel of a Midwestern or northeastern city whereas Miami is unique in seeming like a cross between an American metropolis and a major Latin American city.  There are also some Seminole Indian reserves and villages throughout southern Florida.  Their rich culture can be experienced by visiting a gift shop and checking on their arts and crafts.  Florida Keys is another study in contrast.  Tranquil, full of the slow paced and casual atmosphere is palpable in this side of The South. 

Florida is best known for its world class coastline, with several gorgeous beaches, bays, estuaries lying on the coast.  The terrain is generally flat, with many lakes and wetlands throughout most parts of Florida.  The only exception is parts of the center in Highlands, Polk, Lake, and a few other counties where rolling hills are common.  Florida cities tend to be big, sprawling and well developed.  These cities are highly populated area but fortunately there are still several areas of wilderness left.  Many rural parts of the state grow citrus and sugar cane, but farmland tends to be far out from the usual tourist areas. The Florida Panhandle and North Florida is mostly farmland and pine trees, but as you travel south, you’ll see more wetlands and urbanization.  The Florida Keys, a small group of tropical islands, have its own unique geography so different from the rest of Florida.  It is surrounded by the beautiful waters of the Carribean.
