We are back from taking a road trip through sunny Florida: Tampa, Sarasota, Anna Maria Island, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Boca Raton, Miami, and the Keys. An unforgettable vacation, because we had amazing days with good friends who live there.

Certainly one of these highlights was Anna Maria Island (AMI) on the west coast (1h10 Tampa). A small island that is only 11 km (7 mi) long and 3 km (2 mi) wide. […]
