Another favorite, this time in Delray Beach. If you come for a festival, spend the time in line for the Cornell Cafe and order there. Try the mochi, drink the sake, explore the gardens & museum.

The garden is beautiful, the entry price is worth it! It's peaceful, organized and there is much to see. The museum is interesting, they had samurai weapons and armor on display when I went.

Make sure you have allowed yourself plenty of time to relax and enjoy the peaceful settings you encounter. Take tons of bug spray during rainy seasons.
