From
Bethel, Minnesota, Steve Marcio and
his 13 year-old son Tommy are thrilling
audiences with their impressive tribute to Elvis, "The Elvis

is Elvis singing. Steve's energetic and flawless performance recently
won him first place in the "Contest of Kings" at the Mall

FORT
LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA (FL)
|
|
 Fort
Lauderdale lies along the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of
the New River, 25 miles north of Miami. Its warm tropical
weather attracts many people throughout the year. For sun-worshippers,
the city has six miles of beaches.
There are also
many recreational waterways with extensive boating facilities,
access to every conceivable watersport, a variety of fascinating
museums and trendy restaurants, and an array of entertainment
venues. |
 |
| There is an abundance of things
to see and do in the Ft. Lauderdale area: |
|  •
Take a 30-minute airboat ride across the Everglades, one
of the most breathtaking natural areas in America. Discover
a variety of fish and birds that inhabit the area, and perhaps
see the most famous Everglades inhabitant - the alligator.
• Enjoy
Sawgrass Reptile Exhibit after your ride and take the opportunity
to touch or possibly hold a small alligator. Discover the
replica of a Seminole Indian village. See tropical birds,
rare snakes, and even the endangered Florida panther. |
•
Take a narrated drive through Port Everglades over the Intercoastal
Waterway and along the famous Fort Lauderdale Beach. Explore
the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Shop the luxurious
stores on Las Olas Boulevard, explore the Riverwalk area
and more. Stop and see Esplanade Park, the crossroads of
the Center for Performing Arts and the Museum of Discovery
and Science.
• Take a 90-minute Intercoastal Waterway cruise, and
hear a lively commentary from the boat's captain on the
history of the New River and Fort Lauderdale's historic
sites. |
|
KEY WEST,
FLORIDA (FL)
 |
Ernest
Hemingway made wild, colorful Key West his home, and you will
want to do the same. Home to modern-day adventurers, artists
and poets, the island's charming Old Town teems with restaurants,
bars and unique shops. Add pristine coral reefs, coconut palms
and a laid-back attitude that's truly contagious, and it's
easy to see why so many visitors to Key West never leave.
|
 |
| •
Enjoy the pleasures of a glass-bottom boat on a unique and
informative eco-tour of the only living coral reef in the
continental United States. It's home to over 300 species of
fish, which complete the colorful and intriguing seascape.
The boats are specially designed to provide maximum viewing
with minimum stress to the delicate reef environment. |
•
Visit the Museum of Art and History at the Custom House, a
"must-see" when in Key West. Take a traditional
trolley tour through historic Key West. Marvel at the priceless
treasures on a visit to the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Museum.
Absorb the local charm on a stroll down Duval Street, lined
with quaint shops, cafés and restaurants. |
|
COZUMEL,
MEXICO
| |
 The
Conquistadors first saw Mexico from the shores of Cozumel
while searching for gold. Today, visitors to the island continue
to seek out gold and silver jewelry in the shops of San Miguel
while having a great time in its many local bars and restaurants.
Plus, the waters around Cozumel's sheltered coral reefs make
this one of the best snorkeling areas in the world.
|
Don't miss
the opportunity to explore the ruins of the ancient Mayan
city of Tulúm, majestically perched above the turquoise
Caribbean. The site was occupied as far back as 600 A.D. However,
it was most densely populated around 1200 A.D.
You will be struck by the pyramid-shaped El Castillo, which
dominates the city from atop a forty-foot cliff. The nearby
Temple of the Descending God provides equally excellent insight
into the architecture of the Mayan people, who gained considerable
achievements in the arts and sciences, only to decline and
vanish for no apparent reason. |
| •
Castillo Real - (Royal
Castle)
• Cedral,
a small village is the agricultural center of Cozumel. Many
Mayan ruins can be found in and around its confines.
• Celarin
Lighthouse on the southwest
tip of the island. Fantastic view from the top if you can
handle the 127 steps.
• Chankanaab
Park
• Chichen-Itza,
Tulum & Coba - Mayan Riviera
• El
Cedral - Located about two
miles off the main highway, this is the easiest to reach of
Cozumel's ruins. It is believed to be the oldest on the island.
• Museo
de Cozumel - Features displays
showcasing Cozumel's history, people and natural geography. |
•
Museum of Indigenous
Instruments - Showcases
over 600 authentic pre-Hispanic instruments from all over
Mexico.
• Museo
de las Isla de Cozumel -
Cozumel Mexico
The museum features art exhibits, pieces from the Mayan culture
and the Spanish conquest and displays life in Cozumel from
the 1940's to today.
• San
Gervasio Mayan Ruins (pronounced
san-her-ba-see-oh) is a major excavation of Mayan ruins covering
an area of about 10 acres and situated in beautiful &
cool forest surroundings. While
not as impressive as Tulum or Chichen Itza, San Gervasio provides
you with a sense of the Mayan culture and history.
• San
Miguel - Cozumel Mexico
Cozumel's only town has kept some
of the flavor of a Mexican village. |
|
