This is part #2. The blog before was our start up, heading south.

We are entering Miami Beach. A little story. While I was living in Fort Lauderdale, I used to ride my bicycle to the Tri Rail Train Station. Load my bike up and rode is south. I would ride is all the way to 79th Street. Which there, I would get off and sometimes get on the Metro Rail and go further south. It goes to the Miami Airport. But I would only ride until Harbor Bay area. Get off and ride around downtown. Most times I would get off 79th and ride east to Miami Beach. Then ride south to South Beach. Wow looking back, I rode many miles back then. So now we are heading south to South Beach. 

Got down here and found a parking space, right near the entrance to the South Point Pier. Now I have to pay to park. Bicycle just ride and put a chain lock on it and walk. 

You can see the rain is coming. 

This is looking towards Downtown Miami. Plus this is the main channel for ships to come and go. 

We walked around and headed back to the car. I know the restaurants are a way down the beach, heading north. Drove a little way and found another parking space. 

Okay we have been walking, we only had breakfast this day and I was getting very hungry and wanting some to eat. We walked in and I was happy, FOOD. Oh, not Jeanne so much, kept walking now back south. 

Okay we are sitting now and was ready to check out their menu. Jeanne is the Cuben Sandwich, and I will get Lobster and sides. 

The rain was on its way. The folks sitting close to the road, pretty much ran inside and finished their dinner there. The server asked if we wanted to move. We really were okay sitting here. 

The lobster looks great. 

Jeanne was very happy about her Cuben. 

I tried to pull the tail out and it just kept getting stuck and ripping the meat. I took a piece and put it in the butter. It tasted funny to me. I know I don't eat many lobsters. but to me this was dry and not tasting that great. I gave some to Jeanne and she told me it tasted good. 

I think this was a old one laying around they over cooked it, the claw was dried out and no meat in it. I know, this is South Beach and to get Lobster for $39.00. Is a great deal. NOT FOR ME. I should have sent it back and got something else? But I ate it and gave the rest to Jeanne. She told me it tested good. 

Okay our time on the parking meter is running close. I walked around trying to find another meter box. I had to walk around a block to find one. The reason I say this is We parked about 6 blocks away. They have these meters that you pay and put your license plate in and get a ticket for your own records. 

Go back and my baby already ate her half of the molded cake and ice cream. It was okay. 

Folks I walked away and told myself, I should have sent the lobster back and get something else? 

After getting our bill, we still had time to walk around a little. 

Now look at how nice I got close to the curb. Oh, it did take me two times to get this close. How many times do you park on the other side of the road? 

While heading west, saw the sunset. You can see it was still raining a little.  

Boy I know the sun is going down. I really not too keen on driving at night. 

But we had some snacks in the car and that pretty much kept me awake. 

We got home this night around 11 pm. 

Well folks it is Sunday today and we are watching Pastor Craig on You Tube. 

I hope you are getting feed with God's Word today. 

Remember it is the Sabbath. Please set time aside today to listen to His Word or read it yourself. 

 

This is Wednesday morning (19th)

It's kind of funny, we were riding in the inter coastal and it was flat as can be. We start going out the Jetty (outlet) and WOW, the waves were coming in. So, Jeanne and I talked about the waves and what should we do? 

We turned around and started back into shore. Thinking, we know there is a storm out there and it is coming in sooner than we thought. So why take a chance? So, we loaded the boat back up and headed home. Got there and I used the pressure washer and boy did it come clean this time. Plus I clean the top over the council. 

You sure can see the mildew and all the dirt on the top. Afterwards I forgot to take a picture. But it did turn out beautiful.  Okay now what do we want to do? The weather looks like rain for the rest of the week. 

 

We talked about heading south, Miami area. We talked about going to the Miami Seaquarium. I goofed, I looked at the prices and thought maybe not? But I guess I didn't say anything to Jeanne. So, I was thinking we are just going south the Miami and South Beach. 

I took 95 south to Hillsborough then went east. This way we can site see and maybe stop here and there? We stopped in Pompano Beach. Walked over to the Ice Cream Shop and got a couple of cones. Then walked out on the beach and just checking different things out.  

This is the a small park here for the kids to play in the water fountains and just enjoy getting wet. 

When I lived in this area. I use to come down here on my bike and just enjoy riding and stopping here and there. 

Jeanne saw a real Iguanas (GREEN) sad part we have the big red ones up our way. These guys have taken over down here. I used to go to the school bus garage. There is a couple of large trees there and they are full of these guys. 

We needed to have one more stop. Boy this is such a nice area. Kinda miss it. 

It sure was nice to visit and see how this place really hasn't changed that much. 

Well, we are on our way south now and I will be sharing more the next couple of days. 

Folks I hope and pray you are all doing well, and you have been asking The Lord for His wisdom and love for others. We all are in this together and I know He is listening.
