Another fine Florida morning, looking for a Disney alternative we headed to Winter Park, an older district of Orlando which grew up as a winter home resort but now has a permanent population of 28,000. We had a walk along Park Ave to take in the shops and a fine Italian lunch. Afterwards we took a boat trip around three of the local lakes which are connected by canals. The boat took us along the shore line and we saw lots of birdlife and some amazing homes. The guide on the boat had lots of gossip about the various owners of these mansions including Tom Hanks who lived on the lake for a few months whilst filming in the area. The boat company had three full boats running tours 7 times per day at ten bucks per seat. They have been running these trips since 1938 so I guess the biggest house was his. Our hearts were with you all in Manning. God Bless.
