Wilton Manors, FL scenes part I


I spend winters in Wilton Manors, Florida. Wilton Manors is a small urban city in south Florida next to Fort Lauderdale.  Called the "Island City" because the city is surrounded rivers and canals. The city is less than 2 square miles. The city is in close proximity to all  Fort Lauderdale has to offer: Beaches, Museums, public transport and highways.
The Middle River seperates Fort Lauderdale from Wilton Manors. Kayakers and boaters alike use the canals and rivers for recreation. Rivers and canals lead to the ocean.

















Wiltion Manors also has a large gay popualtion. It is estimated that over 40 percent of the population is gay.

November, time for Florida




The seasonal closure of the B&B signals the start of vacation time! We packed the Subaru and headed to Wilton Manors FL, which is located in Fort Lauderdale in south Florida. Car is packed and the trip is 1553 miles one way!



The trip is approximately 25 hours of driving time, with one overnight stopover. We see lots of route 95.
Its always nice to get back to the house in Wilton Manors!
