We ventured north of Miami to For Lauderdale to check out its world famous beach.
While my son and his friend enjoyed the beach, I rode around in air conditioned Sun Trolley
Once it cooled off in the late afternoon, I walked around the beach. Above is an optical illusion - there is significant distance between the cargo ship and sail boat.
Another illusion of sorts - an oversized beach chair.
The city turns off the street lights to ensure the hatched turtles follow the moonlight into the ocean.
I considered renting a bike ...
... love the inspiration!
Inspiration for a romance novel?
The seagull looked at me ....

I haven't been there. I don't even know much about the place.
ReplyDeleteI have been to Fort Lauderdale. I enjoyed it very much.
ReplyDeleteHaven't visited yet - but I'd like to - probably in the winter when it is not so hot there, and it is cold at home.
ReplyDeleteI was there about 25 years ago with friends. There was a bar at the hotel which had a window to the underwater part of the pool. I am sure they don't have that any more!
ReplyDeleteI have but it's been a very long time. My mother-in-law lived in FL for a while and we had some wonderful vacations.
