rainbow springs

I remember the time before I moved to Orlando when the pictures of Central Florida's natural springs seemed like an unbelievable dream. They also don't disappoint in real life. Within an hour or two from the barren cultural wasteland of mini-golf courses and regular-sized gold courses, shitty chain restaurants, and tasteless souvenir shops, are some of the most beautiful blue bodies of clear water I have ever seen. So far I've visited Weeki Watchee, Wekiva, and Blue Springs, and today Vana and her friends and I went to Rainbow Springs, Florida's fourth largest spring.  It produces over 490 million gallons of water daily. The water stays 72 degrees year-round and made for perfect swimming temperature.
