Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The City of Live MermaidsWhen travelers plot a course for a Florida vacation, they are almost universally drawn into the powerful gravity of Orlando's massive theme parks or the heavily commercialized, high-rise resort beaches of the southern coasts.The modern tourism industry has expertly conditioned families to believe that an authentic Florida escape requires expensive admission tickets, exorbitant resort fees, and hours spent waiting in concrete queues. But if you steer your vehicle onto the quiet, canopy-shaded roads of Hernando County, the neon lights and toll booths fade away into something far more ancient and magical. The landscape shifts into deep pine flatwoods, sprawling salt marshes, and the impossibly clear, sapphire-blue waters of natural freshwater springs. Welcome to Weeki Wachee, Florida-a true gem of the Nature Coast, famous globally as the historic "City of Live Mermaids."
