Adam's Adventures in the Real World
Pictures, videos, and rants on traveling in a wheelchair
Took a stroll through the mangroves at the Anne Kolbe Nature Center in Hollywood, Florida. More than a mile of great accessible trails through natural Florida and a nice small exhibition room showcasing some of the wild animals of the area.
Got a few items from their self-serve gift shop.
Used my freewheel to tour the stunningly beautiful Morikami Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, Florida. The gardens have a trail nearly a mile long and my freewheel made easy work over the gravel. I saw several elderly people being pushed in manual wheelchairs so the accessibility is great. The gardens have giant koi fish, japanese cranes, bonsai trees, and a lantern memorial to the Challenger space shuttle crew including the first Japanese astronaut Ellison Onizuka.
In late 2016 I took a trip out to the San Francisco Bay area – a real home away from home. I spent two years living in the Bay and wanted to visit a few old friends. The highlight of the trip was getting to go out to Alcatraz Island, home of Alcatraz Prison, and now a United States National Park. Despite some buildings being almost a century old, Alcatraz is amazingly accessible to explore and it was one of my favorite travel adventure yet.
