Monday: Exploring the Florida Heartland

On Monday, March 19th we left the beach area and drove inland through the heartland of Florida.  We were on our way to Orlando to watch the Orlando Magic play the Chicago Bulls.  Along the way we saw many, many citrus fields and lots of beef farms.

Once we arrived we were hustled into the hotel by the staff.  It seems that they were in the process of filming a commercial for the upcoming PGA tournament.  The commercial featured the golfer, Rickie Fowler, and between takes Adrian managed to get a picture with him.

We ate an early dinner at the "Five Guys Hamburger and Fries" restaurant.  The burgers were great and a large order of fries was enough to feed the three of us.  They fill the container twice.  The first fill is "dumped" into the bottom of the bag and the second sits in the container.  Lots to eat!

Florida citrus.

Beautiful fruit.  The blossoms smelled lovely too!

A local processing plant!
