South Beach, FL - 3/10/11

Having decided to spend 2 more days here so we could see a few things, we decided to catch up our laundry before noon so we could take off touring. About the time it was finished the sky turned dark and we had a really hard rain storn that lasted a couple hours. Late in the afternoon we joined Skip & Barb and took the "South Beach Local" bus for 25 cents which makes a big loop around the city and we got off at the Lincoln Street Mall. Our tour guide was a passenger on the bus that seemed to know everything and made sure we knew it as well. Actually he was pretty knowledgeable and it made the trip around the loop interesting. The mall is open with stores on each side and what seems like a hundred cafes down the middle. We needed something "cold" to drink and stopped at a cafe for drinks. The picture with Ricki is so we could capture the 2 young men behind us smoking somthing that didn't smell just right. After a short rest, we went on down the mall and decided to eat Italian.


It is spring break time and we definately saw many unusual sights walking around.

Take a look at the decal on the window ....

This is the rest of the window. This store specializes in jeans that look dirty in case you don't want to work.

We got back to the boat about 9 p.m. and called it a night. Tomorrow we would like to go to the beach and check that out.
