daytona is around those parts too. tampa / st pete a bit more towards the gulf of America
where you seen was way out in the sticks heading west into the forests / sometimes swamps and a bit north, significantly closer to the gulf, orlando is kind of in the middle of the state, hence the horrible heat / humidity in the summers..well, that could describe most of florida.
a lot of rural small towns up that way, very friendly, quaint, nice people in general.
