Made it to Miami! I flew the red-eye & got in early on January 18th. Bob met me at the airport & we took UBER to the beach. Above is the view across from our hotel.
We booked 1 night at the Colony (behind the white car) in the Art Deco area of Miami Beach.
We had 24 hours in Miami to see some sights so we hit the ground running…
Lifeguard stand on the beach across from our hotel.
Lots of sandy beach to the south.
Lots of sandy beach (plus colorful high-rises) to the north! Funny birds. :-)
This was my 1st time to Miami & was excited to see where Bob spent time when he was based 7 months in Miami 3 years ago.
We used our favorite form of transportation; City Bikes. Ate a yummy breakfast outside at The News Cafe. It was so entertaining just people watching!!
Near the cafe was a beach "gym" with locals doing random workouts. Check out the guy in orange shorts!
We walked in some shops. This famous picture is done with individually molded construction men. We also liked the various rock climbing figures on the left.
Strolled to the southern point of Miami Beach.
Rocky Pier.
And another cute lifeguard stand. All of them along the beach are painted differently. We walked by Bob's crash pad (no photo) and then took a tour bus to the Everglades in search of Alligators.! (those photos tomorrow). :-)
I love how you guys see so much in only 24 hours...do you want to live in Miami????
ReplyDeleteNo, not a Miami girl. But…I really enjoyed our little bit of time there! It's a neat looking city, beautiful beaches and a wide variety of people.
