5. One thing that was intetesting

Was her report of Florida in general and how much it had changed. There is a big divide between the haves and have nots. Lots of panhandlers coming up next to super fancy cars even along the freeway on ramps. She said NONE of those expensive cars rolled down a window give anyone a dollar.

There were no longer any wooded areas around the track all paved, everything locked up and unfriendly security guards at the gait, no buses, only $40.00 taxi rides, skinny, hungry, black homeless people in in tattered clothing, wandering around looking for spare change.

She met a Haiti girl who was headed by bus to New York in a sleeveless dress and flop flops, she gave her a nice new jean jacket, she was wearing. And some good advice.

She is kind and good. She said she saw the horses in trailers headed toward Florida from her bus window on her way back home. She missed them by two days.
