Amazing Beach House in Florida. Cape San Blas

That beached shrimp boat brought tears to my eyes. I miss my Jenny.

"Red skies in the morning, sailors take warning"-"sunset is red fair weather ahead"- absolutely nice Slava!!!

[@glengamble526]

Slava, you and your lovely lady are truly citizens of the world. As a fellow traveller, I always try to stress to people that haven’t had the privilege to travel-that we all have more in common than we do opposite. You are both wonderful and kind people and explorers. Maybe someday I can host you in Canada.

[@RussianPlus]

Thanks Glen. I'd love to visit Canada

[@harrydonnelly6687]

It's a dream of mine to travel due to a work ending illness I cannot afford to travel but it's so wonderful that intrepid vloggers such as Slava and numerous others take the time to share their own experiences so folks like myself can and enjoy it vicariously

[@geoffdavis9681]

If you told me you were from the South of the USA, I would totally have believed you.

[@mysneekers5862]

Superb video!
You always describe the places you are visiting in such great detail. Great narration.
Mark and his family are wonderful, God bless them.
Of all the wonderful places you have traveled to, great places that I’ve never seen before, what impress’s me that most is the friendship’s you have with the people of America. Lana looks like she was was having a blast!

[@jeffsnider3588]

We are part of one of those 1960's simple houses on a bay in Alabama. It has thankfully survived many hurricanes except for the boat dock. Earlier this year the family got together with hammers, nails, and a pump to sink pilings and rebuilt the boat dock one more time. Maybe it will last a little while.

[@Mrgunsngear]

Great video. I live on the Cape part of the year; you covered a lot of the cool parts of the area 🇺🇸

Hey Slava, I have been to Florida several times but not so far up north. And I have been spending 1 vacation in Georgia. So your videos remind me of the look and feel of what I saw and enjoyed. :-) But wow.. you meet so many interesting people! That sure does make it a local experience!

[@Skullsworth]

I used to travel here almost every year with my family to go scalloping in the Bay. Haven't done it in almost a decade though. Beautiful place with a lot of memories.

[@HulkingPersonalValet]

Hi guys, I am from USSR multinational, born in Kiyv what's now Ukraine. I had oppt to live in Florida when I was a kid, I stayed at Monte Verde academy and ofcourse couple times we traveled tourist visa....so I can recall what it's like, just cozy cookie and duce. Clinique happy tbones ... Beaches in this video reminded me of cape Cod in Massachusetts..... was also a fascinated getaway via a nice family by culture in exchange. Try that and ask a German or Russian friend to move to a place for a while...!? Your kids can mesmorise thus coping skills lessons learned...etc

I think Slava has earned the honorary title of “AmericanPlus”

[@RussianPlus]

About time haha. Thank you

[@kennethblackwell1137]

Thanks, Slava. Well done as usual. I live in the SE Corner of Alabama and have visited this area, but not since Hurricane Michael. I was surprised at how much the area has recovered.

[@pastormarkbrand]

Most houses have been rebuilt, but we still miss our trees.

[@alshermond]

This is impressive. I am from South Florida myself, and have been to South Georgia and North Florida many times, but few from outside the country stop to see these areas. It says a lot that you're going to the places outside of most tourists' knowledge.

[@mentonejake5192]

My husband, dog and I visited for a week in 2018. We rented a condo. The cape reminded us of a beachfront version of our home here in AL. Very quite and rural. We are loving your videos!

[@jackiegraham4072]

Florida is beautiful and most of it is still rural towns. Large city’s like Tampa and Jacksonville have grown so much over the last 20 or 30 years if you had left and came back you would not recognize them.

[@meogia4518]

This is a beautiful video of Florida….thanks for sharing.

[@robertellis210]

This is where I vacation. It is spectacular, but don't tell anybody. Most of the regular visitors and the locals want it to remain forgotten. Thanks for this great video.

[@richardstone3629]

Our house is the green one with all the columns and decks just beside the one in the water near end of this video. We love Cape San Blas and March to End of April is such a beautiful less hot time of year. One correction is that some cape beach front houses cost over 2.5 million dollars.

Hi Mark, cool house, you mentioned your wife was making apple crisp and BINGO, that's what I going to "pig out" on this year with our bumper crop of apples...thanks for the tip.

[@pastormarkbrand]

Sounds like a great idea. It is one of the only ways that I really like vanilla ice cream, and the oatmeal is a good source of fiber. Otherwise, I am all about flavors. 😊 Sometimes, I just dribble half and half on it. Eaten with a good cup of strong coffee, it is great and the apples and oatmeal inside allow me to convince myself that I am eating something healthy!🤣

It's a little trailer on the western edge of Port St Joe, just before the bridge to Mexico Beach. The BEST BBQ, which is very popular in the Southern states. Cheers!

[@fibonacciCache]

​@@RussianPlus Can't wait to see. I am planning on going to Russia for the first time next summer since I was adopted from far east in 1996. But I am unsure how to arrange accommodations or what are my best options for traveling around Russia. I really don't have the best idea yet what my trip will look like. Any advice or ideas of where to start looking online? I want to avoid hostels, as I will be traveling alone.

[@RussianPlus]

Which cities did you want to visit? If you stop by Yekaterinburg then we can show you around. There are affordable hotel options in most cities. In Moscow you're looking at $40 $50 a night for a decent hotel. I normally use booking. com and choose something with a rating no less than 8

[@fibonacciCache]

@@RussianPlus I think I want to start on the east side (Komsomolsk is where I'm from) see Vladivostok maybe, and then work my way West ending in Piter. I'm not sure about the in between. Baikal is on the list. Yekaterinburg would be amazing. Pskov, Moscow and a few of the golden ring towns would be nice as well. I'm not sure my Russian speaking will be as strong as I'd like come next summer..should I be worried about not being able to converse east of the Urals?

Nice part of Florida, and a great host family. I've often wondered what insurance costs for such coastal residences, and is "Hurricane Insurance" available?

[@pastormarkbrand]

Insurance costs can be very expensive. The main thing affecting rates is which flood zone the house sits in. The Army Corps od Engineers issues flood zone maps every few decades with many different zones, each reflecting a certain level of risk. That dramatically affects rates. Thankfully, our house is in a part of our lot that is in the “x” zone, which means we are basically nearly zero flood risk. Salt water backed up from the Bay and soaked the roots of most our pine trees during the hurricane, though, and killed them, exactly where the flood zone maps said it would. Here is a link to what those kind of flood risk maps look like: hazards-fema.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=8b0adb51996444d4879338b5529aa9cd
