I love people watching.
It’s always been one of my favorite things to do, no matter where I’ve lived. (And, full disclosure, I’ve lived in four states and two countries in the last nine years,)
Luckily for me, Orlando has only fueled my joy of people watching with trips to International Drive, home to destinations such as I-Drive 360, Mango’s Tropical Café and Fun Spot America Orlando.
I find myself at I-Drive 360, an entertainment complex just north of the Orange County Convention Center, several times a month.
My routine is as follows: Buy an iced latte on the road, park on level three or higher of the garage and then settle in for an afternoon of enjoying the sunshine and staring up at the Orlando Eye.
In my opinion, the ideal viewing spot is on the edge of the complex’s courtyard, close to the water fountain.
