As some of you already know, I have lived in Winter Park for the last two years. It is not only a nice place to live but also a great place to visit. There are many parks and gardens, galleries and museums, and tons of restaurants. A couple of my favorite places in Winter Park are:
The Morse Museum which houses a beautiful collection of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
The Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Garden, an interesting collection of sculpture in a lovely outdoor setting.
There are many other attractions here for visitors to the city.
Last Saturday, I spent some time in the city's downtown park, Central Park, and paid a visit to the weekly farmers' market. The pictures here are from that outing. Enjoy!
