They might be small and they might be cute, but you don't want get hit by a speeding golf car - especially if it is driven by a little old lady rushing to meet her friends for an "early bird" dinner in Spanish Springs!
This is for my good friend, Vogon Poet, who with his sweetie, Trillian, produce the amazingly beautiful blog from Livorno, Italy. Dr. Poet likes all things Florida (especially The Villages) except for our friendly little gators!
This ship, which continues to slowly sink into Lake Sumter, is found at Lake Sumter Landing. Not to worry, though. Remember this is a "Disneyesque" world and it is meant to do that!
The Villages is one of the fastest-growing retirement communities in the United States.
Located in Central Florida, about an hour's drive northwest of Orlando, the Villages is now home to some 150,000 residents, many of which travel the area via golf cart.
There are now three "home towns" in The Villages, Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood. Music and dancing is provided nightly in the town squares of each of the home towns.
The Villages is a beautiful community and we hope you enjoy viewing our photos showcasing its many charms.
