Some Fun Things in the Wauchula Florida Area

We found some fun things to do here. The first was to visit Solomans Castle, built by a world renowned sculpturer named Howard Soloman. This castle is his residence where he lives with his wife and son. Many of the rooms are filled with his quirky sculptures. Everything including the castle is made from what most people call junk or garbage. His brain is definitely wired differently than most of us. The grounds include a Boat in a Moat, a lighthouse and several other buildings.




We also visited the farm where Herrmanns Lipizzaner Stallions live, breed and do their winter training. Three days a week the public can come and watch them as they do a "training show". These are magnificent horses and an hour and half sure went fast watching them. These pictures are but a small part of what these horses do.



We are enjoying our time here in Florida. Several people from our caravans live here and we have been welcomed to their homes and treated to lunches, boat rides and great visits. It is truly wonderful to have friends all over the country.

It was the coldest December on record here - that says it all for weather. January so far is a bit warmer but still below normal. Compared to previous years we spent here, it is much cooler and wetter with more humidity and lots more wind. However, it is much better than the rest of the southeast.
