Where) Where was indeed the question. Of course we were able to find fresh oranges to eat at numerous locations but we had driven around a large part of Florida before we found this grove of oranges when we on our way to see the Lipizzaner Stallions. Perhaps we just needed to take more back roads.
Why) This was one of about 5 things that Pam said I should make sure we ended up doing on this trip.
