Find the answer to the following riddle:
I am in a place where people speak Spanish and English. There are no subways, but there is a monorail. Alligators live here. Farmers grow oranges here. One famous building here looks like a giant golf ball. The landscape is flat and swampy. There are trees in the Everglades. This place is a peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides, the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. WHERE AM I?
Make a T Chart in your notebooks to describe the physical and human features of the riddle.
