Miami Beach..

Ok, so we went like, I dunno... a month ago? Maybe it's because I look back on that mini-break as not the best trip in the world. It could have been the unseasonably gold weather in FLA (like 40 degrees... and I don't mean celsius). Or that Miami beach is ubber touristy, or the fact that we were kept awake on our final night there until the next morning by our nasty neighbors...

It was fun, don't think I'll ever venture down that way again for any reason (so many better places in the world). The people watching was fun, but it still doesn't out way that they're all intolerable. The beach-- pretty, lots of palm trees, and blue ocean as far as the eye can see.

Then there's the architecture. A fan. I do love the Art Deco style, and the neon lights are a lot of fun.
So here you go......


The last day there was the nicest, and we spent a day people watching and had a really good brunch outside. Then we saw this guy walk by with a chinchilla (?). He was playing with it. Obviously, he's way cool. I wonder how often he changes his shirt?



Yeah, these people were fighting chilly waters (although lovely) and a lot of wind. It was amazing to watch them paddle by from our hotel (not our hotel is not here, it was horrible. We got a lovely night at the Ritz and then had a serious downgrade.....)

See! It was cold, this old lady is all wrapped up in a fur! With a fancy red, white, and blue, sequin hat. She's cold!! She's gonna stay warm, so stay out of her way!



Ahh--- serene Key Biscayne, at the Ritz. Highly recommend it. It was everything you would think it would be. It was also the warmest day. We tried to stay as long as we could so we could enjoy it all......



The mighty RITZ!

The only way I'll go back is if I can stay here.
