  • If you've never heard of Mount Dora, Florida, you are in for a dramatic discovery!
    If you know about the town, you are already in on the secret!
    Mount Dora could very well be the most beautiful, coolest, most charming small town in central Florida.
    This video looks at the amazing downtown, the astounding Dora Canal and even checks out the sport of lawn bowling.
    Come along and travel the world with Richard Green. Retiring in the spring of 2023, I am embarking on full-time world travel. I'm going solo, but the idea here is not to focus on me so much. It's about the places and the people along the way.
    The title Old, Alone and Far From Home might initially come across as a sad state of being. My mission is to show that it's just the opposite.

    The town has an electric horseless carriage too that is really cool to tour the city in!

      That's awesome! If I go back, I'll have to look for it.
      Thanks for the tip.

      The Olde Mount Dora Carriage Co., I think. Yeah, there are no horses clip-clopping in front- there’s a driver at the wheel, but these white carriages look traditional otherwise.

    Old, alone and far from home--that's exactly what I am. 😄 Wishing I could find paradise to live in somewhere, and a caring person to live with.

    Yes! And The Goblin Market is the best restaurant.

      @oldaloneandfarfromhome  Před 7 měsíci +1

      I'll probably return to Mount Dora in February, so I'll have to give the Goblin Market a try!

      @@oldaloneandfarfromhome Goblin Market dinner is world class. Lunch is good but simple. For the gourmet, its their dinners that deserve respect.

    Also I haven't posted on the channel yet but since it seems like you're spending some time in Ohio if you haven't checked out yellow springs check out yellow springs and just know that if you go to their festival that's coming up in October. it is extraordinarily crowded. Get there real early for parking.

      I'm in Ohio for three more days! As it happens, I did do a little video about Yellow Springs. I was there on July 4th.
      Here is the link to that story:

    are there tiny home locations in central florida?

    • @oldaloneandfarfromhome
      @oldaloneandfarfromhome  Před 2 měsíci

      I have never looked into that, but I would imagine that there are some places that allow them.

    Looks hot and sticky in summer. Id hate that. I may do okay in winter though

    • @oldaloneandfarfromhome
      @oldaloneandfarfromhome  Před 6 měsíci

      No doubt, a trip to Mount Dora will be much more pleasant in winter than in summer.

      That's a complaint in many popular areas of the world.

      What’s wrong with the rainbow flag? You afraid that “the gays” are going to turn you gay from seeing a flag? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
