Bok tower gardens

[mike4scuba]

My mum rings the bells at her local church. She is 84
Was telling me that it is only the uk that rings the bells (bells move)
All others use the same method as bok tower where the Clapper hits the bell

Seems like england was the place to get bells from as the liberty bell in usa was purchased in london

If you are a pass holder you get lots of concessions to other places around Florida.

We also have the annual pass and regularly go to Harry P Leu Gardens as well as Bok Tower. This year we went to the Sunken Garden in St Petersburg which is also free to pass holders and really enjoyed it there too.

Beautiful place to visit, so calm and peaceful, with amazing views. If you are in the area it is worth visiting Spook Hill, it is just a bit of fun, you can park your car on the hill facing downhill, put your car in neutral take your hands of the steering wheel and feet off the pedals, take the hand brake off and your car will reverse up the hill unaided all by itself, history says the Seminal Indians put a 'spell/curse' on the hill to deter advancing 'whiteman', it really does work we had great fun doing it, taking it in turns to sit in the driving seat and letting the car reverse backwards up the hill unaided.
