South Beach & The Everglades

We breezed into Miami on Monday afternoon and checked in on South Beach.

This is great! We're in the Art Deco District, maybe 300 yards from the ocean.

We had dinner at Tequila Chicas, then walked out to the beach. Suprisingly,the water was the same temperature as the air as we treked the beachline.


Tuesday, we hit Starbucks, then headed almost due West to the Everglades.
First, we stopped in at "Gator Land" and took an air boat ride out into the "swamps".









Then we went on another few miles and went into the NPS Everglades.
Rhoda got tired of me asking questions of the Rangers and proceeded to rent a couple of bikes.
In spite of the 94 deg temp and 70% humidity...best move ever! Baby gators, Big Mama, big honking black snake. Wow!








Returned to South Beach and had dinner on the sidewalk at the Cardonzo Hotel.
A Great Day!

Hi Guys,

What fun! I did tell your coworkers just a bit about your bike ride and the pod of crocs and their mom!

They were so nice and Debbie was just great!

See you soon. Have fun on the cruise!
