Florida and the Bahamas. Globe Trekker
Description
This Globe Trekker episode follows Lavinia Tan on a trip through Florida and the Bahamas, a place of theme parks, sun, and sand, also home of the largest sub-tropical wilderness in the U.S. and the only place in the Western hemisphere to have launched man into space. In Miami, Lavinia goes to the Cuban Calle Ocho street party, sees South Beach's Art Nouveau architecture, attends the Gay and Lesbian Winter Party, and visits the Holocaust Memorial. She hits Florida Keys for diving and a trip to Ernest Hemingway's home, Cape Canaveral for an astronaut experience, Orlando, St. Augustine where she admires the Spanish colonial architecture, and Daytona Beach for Bike Week. In the Everglades, Lavinia meets the Seminole Indians and watches alligator wrestling. She ends up in the Bahamas where she takes a mini-submarine out to a World War II wreck, goes diving with sharks, and kayaks through a tropical nature reserve.
