I would encourage anyone to visit the places along our beautiful Gulf Coast from Texas back to Florida. Beaches, historic sites, great food, wonderful folks with all sorts of accents and cultural influences, great music and art... Something for the international and even fellow American visitors to consider: the Deep South is an amazing blend of British, French, Spanish, African,and Native American cultures, with other European and even Asian communities contributing their influences, too. It’s beautiful, hot, humid and has scary critters, but I wouldn’t trade it for any other place! Proud to be a GRITS (Girl/grandmother raised in the South) and an American!:)
As we always say: Welcome to Florida! Now go home. Heh.
