The party that is Miami

And wild and crazy Miami it is. I swear to you there's no need to pay the expense of planning a trip out of the U.S. if you have a yen to visit any Latin country. Just come to Miami. A merging of many countries (Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina,Cuba, and others) where English seems to be a second language. Every night a party (this I wouldn't know about - we don't stay up late!), and more grand restaurants than you can count.

So join me on my morning walk. You won't see a lot of people in my photos below but there were a ton. People jogging, walking their dogs, escorting their kids to school, walking to work with men in suits and fashionable women walking in flip flops, holding their 5 inch high heels. Didn't get a photo, but the guy in full business attire on a stand up electric scooter was quite the thing. Love this walk and all the entertainment.

I walk by this cute cafe everyday  - going in one of these times

Mandarin Hotel's fake beach - no natural sand on this man made island

Fun times with friends at a famous Miami landmark - Joe's Stone Crab. Amazing food!

The employment for some -window washing for high rises. Not for the faint of heart.The tallest building in the background on the right side is where the crew diligently works. Took this on the 29th floor so goodness knows how high that is!

Cruise ships at port this morning. Just four, sometimes there are double that. The waterways are crowded around here.

It can be peaceful here too, as this gentleman shows -meditation is everywhere these days. We're back to the other side (Naples) tomorrow. A quieter place at least for now - season has not arrived yet.
