Instead, we wisely headed off to Key West for a few days, after our personalized tour of South Beach in Miami where we started the trip at an Irish Pub and identified filming locations for current, and old, TV shows(see later blog entry, and toured Wyland's 99th wall (100 was done in Beijing during the olympics).
Micki was an active audience for Wyland and his crew when they were painting this wall in North Lauderdale this year.
While I've been a fan for a while, Mark is now interested in Wyland's and Guy Harvey's paintings...could it be the fish?
After the bustling Miami scene, the real south Florida starts south of Homestead with fewer malls and shopping centers - though this is changing - and more open space, more flying and crawling critters, and water, everywhere. The pace definitely slows, the volume of low end boats increases, the number of dive bars is bountiful and the road stretches straight for 113 miles, across 42 bridges. The water becomes unending shades of turquoise contrasting with the robin's egg blue skies and fluffy clouds that almost touch the water.
Important to Key West - alcohol, sunsets, food, water sports, alcohol, conch houses. We did well on all accounts. We attempted another 'ship' ride and were more successful with our sunset cruise, made complete with me driving for a while. Our catamaran sailed around lazily to accommodate plenty of rounds of beer and sunsetting views, including the nightly celebrations at Mallory Square.
