This afternoon after we had all finish our studies, we decided to go find a beach somewhere. So I was given the task of finding one not too far away (which shouldn't be difficult here in Florida). We headed in towards Miami, and then when I saw the sign Miami Beach became the obvious choice. It turns out that we needed to go over a couple of small islands (with bridges inbetween) to get to the beach.
Miami Beach is an old Art Deco neighbourhood, with old buildings, many of which are in great condition and contribute a real character to the area.
This little strip at Spanish Village looked really nice with the outdoor cafes.
Ocean Drive itself borders right onto the beach precinct, with only a small park separating it and the beach.
The beach had a different feel from Australian beaches, principally due to the many stalls scattered along the length where vendors sell drinks. Ocean Drive had a few notable shops along its length, as well as some notable characters!!
As sunset approached it was time to head back to the house for our 7:30pm class. All in all it was a lovely afternoon, first time I have left the house in a few days with the exception of the local supermarket.
Bob is talking about heading down to Florida Keys in a day or two to take the boat out. I'll have to think about that one, as my trading education comes first. It would certainly be nice to see that area - I'll give it some thought.
Bye for now.
