2 Nights in Miami & Drive Down the Keys -- October 1999
We spent 2 nights in Miami's South Beach at a hotel in the Art Deco historic district. The buildings and the reconstruction were a treat to look at. But it was too hot and humid to lug around a camera.
One night we had our own "progressive dinner". Cocktails at one hotel, appetizers at another (more cocktails too), dinner at yet another (with wine of course) and finally dessert and aperitif in another grand old building. And I seem to remember having a night cap at a classic lounge before heading back to our own hotel.
 49.18 Kb After a most boring (w/o scenery) drive from Orlando to Miami, we spent 2 nights are a hotel in the Art Deco Historic District. |
 79.81 Kb Haulover Beach in North Miami is one of the more famous nude beaches in the country. We spent a few hours here while driving up to Fort Lauderdale. |
 40.05 Kb My goal for this trip was to drive across the 7 Mile Bridge. I've always been intrigued by the "bridge in the middle of the ocean". |
 32.17 Kb I have seen it in so many TV shows and movies that I just had drive across it myself. Here you can see the old and the new bridges. I guess Arnold blew it up pretty bad. |
 33.99 Kb More of me and the bridge. |
 42.69 Kb Jack in a small park at the south end of the bridge. |
 31.98 Kb Me actually driving across the bridge. This is why we rented a convertible. Just for this shot. |
 26.65 Kb Jack in a moment of self-reflection. For me driving across the bridge is one of those things I've always wanted to do. And now I've done it. I have the picture (but no t-shirt). I can check it off my list of "things to do this life time", but it was hardly a life changing experience. |
 30.54 Kb You should not take pictures while driving 60 MPH on a two lane road. |
 30.33 Kb Me on the cell phone, calling back to Verna at work, just to let her know I was in Florida and she wasn't. |
