There's only so much you can get from reading, seeing video, etc. Many of the places I've been - well, you just have to BE there to get the full experience. This would appear to be one of those places.
Oh my dear uninitiated new friend. That video was pretty danged close to the truth. You ain't seen nothin' yet!

I was not interested in leaving Ohio, particularly to retire to Florida. My parents had a nice home in Venice for years, and I always just hated their whole life style.

This place is so different from any place I have ever been. Hope you like it too.
