Good morning everyone! Today I wanted to share a little bit about where I'm from. 00:00:00

So as you know I'm from the United States, which is a very big country, all 00:00:16

the way across the Atlantic Ocean from where we are in Spain. I am from a state 00:00:21

called Florida. So Florida is this state right here. It's similar to Spain because 00:00:27

it's a peninsula, and so is Spain. It sticks out in the ocean. And so to get here, I took a plane 00:00:39

and I flew from Florida to New York, which is a big city right here. And then I flew from New York 00:00:47

all the way to Madrid across the ocean. So I want to talk a little bit more about Florida. 00:00:55

so this is Florida it's a big state and most of it is surrounded by ocean and Florida is 00:01:02

famous in the United States because it has a lot of beaches so people travel there from 00:01:17

all over the country to go to the beach and it's also very hot all the year round 00:01:24

so there are people who live up north in the united states where it snows in the winter and 00:01:32

it's very cold and there are people who have a lot of money who buy a second house in florida 00:01:38

so that they can come during the winter and then that way they're not freezing during the winter 00:01:45

florida is also very famous for its theme parks like disney world and sea world and these are in 00:01:50

Orlando. Orlando is a very, very famous city. Yes, yes. And then another famous city in Florida 00:02:01

is called Miami. A lot of people in Miami speak Spanish. There are some people in Miami who only 00:02:12

speak Spanish. They don't speak English. So Florida has many different cultures. 00:02:19

And I was born in this city called Fort Lauderdale. I was born here, but when I was young, 00:02:25

my family moved here to, okay, my family moved here to Tallahassee and this is the capital of 00:02:33

Florida. So Tallahassee is the capital of Florida just like Madrid is the capital of Spain and this 00:02:48

is where I grew up and then here in Gainesville is where I went to college. So I went from here 00:02:55

to here to here to here, which was much farther. Yes. So this is Tallahassee. This is the city 00:03:01

where I grew up. This is the Capitol building right here. So Tallahassee has two Capitol 00:03:10

buildings. As you can see, this one is very old fashioned looking. It was built, I think, 00:03:18

the 1800s so over a hundred years ago but as florida got bigger and bigger and more people 00:03:26

moved there they needed a bigger government so they built this big capitol building right behind 00:03:34

the old one so now we have two capitol buildings and this is the flag of the united states 00:03:41

and this is the flag of florida right here this is another view of the two capitol buildings 00:03:49

from the road. So there's a big road that goes right in front of it. Okay. Tallahassee is known 00:04:01

for canopy roads. So roads that are covered with trees. So the whole city is full of trees, 00:04:11

lots and lots of trees. And especially oak trees, which look like this. And so as you're driving, 00:04:20

you are always driving through the trees and it's very very beautiful we have so many oak trees that 00:04:28

the the official seal of tallahassee is a tree yes this is a picture from tallahassee in the 1890s 00:04:37

so about 100 150 years ago and even back then there were oak trees 00:04:52

so they've been there for a very long time this is a postcard of a Tallahassee oak tree from 1940 00:04:59

long time ago Tallahassee is not on the beach as you can see in the picture it's in them it's 00:05:08

inland but we are less than an hour away from the ocean and this is one of the closest spots 00:05:18

on the coast to Tallahassee it's called st. Mark's lighthouse so this is a 00:05:27

lighthouse and you can see there are places where you can dock your boat and 00:05:33

this isn't really a good beach for swimming but a lot of people come to go 00:05:40

boating out here the lighthouse I think so another big thing in Tallahassee is 00:05:46

our university it's called Florida State University or FSU this is not where I 00:06:00

went to school I went to the University of Florida which is the rival school of 00:06:06

FSU so there's a big football game but not not football like you know American 00:06:12

football every year between FSU which is this school and UF where I went and it's 00:06:18

it's a huge game it's like Madrid versus Barcelona here it's a big deal so this 00:06:25

is a picture of the school and then this is the mascot of the school it's we call 00:06:32

them the Seminoles because back before the Americans lived in Florida it was 00:06:40

the home of the Seminole Indian tribe yes and this is FSU is very famous for 00:06:46

its football team. Here are some pictures. This is the stadium in Tallahassee. It's very big. 00:06:54

And I have a video of the opening of one of the games. So one of the famous things 00:07:04

that FSU does for football. So they have somebody dress up as the mascot. His name is Chief Osceola 00:07:12

and he has a horse named Renegade and they do something called the planting of the spear. 00:07:34

So I'll show you. Yes, in the football field. And this is the chant. Each football team has 00:07:42

its own chant and this is FSU's. So I'll skip ahead a little bit. 00:07:50

and you can see all the people are doing the football chant 00:07:55

there's the band there's the cheerleaders okay right here oh yeah all of the all of this team's 00:08:01

games yes at home when when it's a home game yeah yes so it's very famous 00:08:39

Is he a real Indian? 00:08:50

I think so, yes. 00:08:52

It's better than Alabama, I think, no? 00:08:55

Yeah. 00:08:58

It's better. 00:08:59

Yes. 00:09:00

Yeah, definitely at least. 00:09:00

It's like Real Madrid, no? 00:09:02

Very, very famous. 00:09:09

Yes. 00:09:10

Yeah, Alabama. 00:09:11

And another cool thing about Tallahassee is that we have an old Spanish mission. 00:09:13

so the the first people who came to florida were from spain so spain settled florida and then 00:09:18

after the united states became a country they bought slash fought for the land from spain 00:09:26

but before the americans were there the spanish were there and so where i live there is an old 00:09:33

Spanish mission. It's not the buildings that were there in the 1700s because they were very old and 00:09:41

they fell down but these this is meant to be what it would have looked like. So this is the church 00:09:50

so this would have been the church that the missionaries worshipped at and this here is 00:09:57

a house that the Native Americans would have had their gatherings in and it doesn't have a roof 00:10:05

but there's a big fire inside so when it rained the fire was so big that it burned up all the rain 00:10:12

mm-hmm but it's it's huge it's really big 00:10:19

and that's all I have about Tallahassee today thank you for listening 00:10:24
