9 Best Things to Do in Tarpon Springs, Florida - The Sponge Capital of the World
Less than an hour drive north of Tampa on Florida’s Gulf Coast is one of the most offbeat, culturally-rich communities in the state of Florida.
Tarpon Springs was first settled in the 1870s, named for the giant tarpon that jumped and splashed in Spring Bayou. It was around the bayou where most of the town’s early development took place as a wintering spot for well-to-do northerners. Victorian-era houses still dot the neighborhood.
Toward the end of the century, boats would leave docks along Dodecanese Boulevard to harvest sponges from Key West to the Panhandle. For a bigger return, the Greek technique of diving for sponges was implemented. An influx of Greek immigrants to the area soon followed and the cultural identity of Tarpon Springs took root.
What was once a remote village became the “sponge capital of the world.” At one point, natural sea sponges retrieved from the Gulf surpassed citrus as Florida’s main export.
Sponges are still big business in Tarpon Springs and Greek heritage remains at the forefront. In fact, this community of just over 25,000 has the highest concentration of people of Greek descent than any other city in the nation.
On this episode, we take you to the sponge docks and beyond to show you the best things to do in Tarpon Springs.

HISTORICAL DINANT & FACTS || CITADEL - DINANT- FULL VIDEO || BATTLE OF DINANT - World War 1
#chitra_world #belgium #history #dinant #worldwar #dinantsax #historia #visitingplacesinbelgium #europetravel #europa #historias #historical #historylove #historybe
Dinant is a city in Belgium’s Walloon Region. It’s on the banks of the Meuse River and backed by steep cliffs. Dinant is one of the most beautiful little towns in Belgium. So if you are wondering if Dinant is worth visiting, my answer is yes, absolutely! It's a local's favorite and a great place for those looking to explore Belgium deeper and beyond the most popular tourist cities in Flanders.
Safe to say that Dinant is a city with sax appeal, as the birthplace of Adolphe Sax (1814-1894), the inventor of the saxophone. There are saxophone monuments all over town in his honour, including along the bridge on which Charles de Gaulle took a bullet in the leg in 1914.
Belgium has 3 official languages: Dutch, French, German and since Dinant is part of Walloon or Wallonia, locals here would be speaking in French.
Meuse River at Dinant, Belg. The Meuse River is navigable for most of its length and is one of the more important waterways of western Europe.
The Citadel of Dinant is a fortress located in the Walloon city of Dinant in the province of Namur, Belgium. The current fort was built in 1815 on a site which was originally fortified in 1051 when the region was ruled by the Prince-Bishopric of Liège.
The city suffered devastation again at the beginning of the First World War. On the 15 August 1914, French and German troops fought for the town in the Battle of Dinant, among the wounded was Lieut. Charles de Gaulle. On 23 August, 674 inhabitants were summarily executed by Saxon troops of the German Army — the biggest massacre committed by the Germans in 1914. Within a month, some five thousand Belgian and French civilians were killed by the Germans at numerous similar occasions.
he Battle of Dinant was an engagement fought by French and German forces in and around the Belgian town of Dinant in the First World War, during the German invasion of Belgium
The massacre was a systematic attack on assumed civilian resisters and was the largest German atrocity perpetrated during the invasion, which became known as The Rape of Belgium.
it took place over 18 days in May 1940 and ended with the German occupation of Belgium following the surrender of the Belgian Army. On 10 May 1940, Germany invaded Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Belgium under the operational plan Fall Gelb (Case Yellow). ... The Belgian Army surrendered on 28 May 1940, ending the battle.
this is the birth city of father of saxophone Adolphe sax
Guard Commander Inspection - Arlington National Cemetery
Check out our new Coffee ASMR video!
============================
An impeccably uniformed relief commander appears on the plaza to announce the Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. Soon the new sentinel leaves the Quarters and unlocks the bolt of his or her M-14 rifle to signal to the relief commander to start the ceremony. The relief commander walks out to the Tomb and salutes, then faces the spectators and asks them to stand and stay silent during the ceremony.
The relief commander conducts a detailed white-glove inspection of the weapon, checking each part of the rifle once. Then, the relief commander and the relieving sentinel meet the retiring sentinel at the center of the matted path in front of the Tomb for the commencement of the changing of the guard ritual.

WEEKI WACHEE | Travel Guide 2021 | Spring Hill Florida | Exploring the Nature Coast | Ep. 5
Join us as we spend another day exploring Florida's Nature Coast. In this video, we'll be your travel guide as we depart Rogers Park and paddle up (and down) the Weeki Wachee River in Spring Hill Florida. We'll show you the good and the bad of our day on the Weeki Wachee, as we encounter two manatees, hundreds of (EVIL) yellow flies, and even big foot.
Along the way, we'll also explain how to access the river via kayak or paddleboard both at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park and Rogers County Park. Stay tuned to the end as we wrap up our day by visiting a great local brewery and explaining how you can best avoid the evil yellow flies.
