Walking to lunch from 8002

We’ve lived here five years, and driven many times down to the highway, passing the Formosa Gardens Village shopping area (with Winn Dixie, Ace Hardware, Subway, and other stores) – and we’ve wondered about walking; so today we did (partly because we couldn’t drive, while the garage door is being painted!)

The walk is less than two miles, along mostly uninteresting highway – but at least there are sidewalks; along part of the road, and the reason for the “Formosa Gardens” names, now very derelict Splendid China (which we sadly never saw while it was open). The few views remaining of Splendid China suggest it was once a wonderful “model village” of China – be sure to visit this link and read more about Splendid China, including some inside pictures.

Arriving at lunch, at Subway, we checked our walk – not so far, really …

(of course, we walked it all back again, after lunch!)
