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.
