Florida Travel Vlog Day 12: Hobe Sound Nature Center (Hobe Sound, FL)
Before this, we actually went to a place called Seabranch. it was nice, but we were attacked by a giant hord of mosquitos and a giant spider made its web in the middle of the damn trail. that's when we had enough and went to the Hobe Sound Nature Center instead. we attempted to walk their trails but once again we were attacked by more mosquitos. haha guess they like blood that's from out of state. then we checked out their building with all the animals and we headed over to the river.

Quick Overview of Blowing Rocks Preserve, Jupiter Island in Hobe Sound, Florida (3/31/17)
Blowing Rocks Preserve is located just north of the Martin County line on Jupiter Island. The environmental preserve itself straddles A1A. Blowing Rocks offer two completely different experiences, on the west side mangroves and the Intracoastal Waterway, on the east side sea grape forest and the ocean. The preserve was named for its rocky Anastasia limestone shoreline – the largest on the U.S. Atlantic coast. During extreme high tides and after winter storms, seas break against the rocks and force plumes of saltwater up to 50 feet skyward. It’s an impressive sight, and definitely not your typical Florida beach.
The town of Jupiter Island is located on the barrier island called Jupiter Island, in Martin County, Florida. The town is part of the Port St. Lucie, Florida, Metropolitan Statistical Area. It has no post office, as all mail comes from Hobe Sound on the mainland.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
