FL19 - Back from Keys

Image
That's about it. TomTom decided not to take us on any toll roads but on the 997 and 27 that I have expected. Since last time they have dualled 997 part way but the bit to the north of Homestead is still single with road works. Still better than I75 and US1. Stops? One at a Dunkin' for breakfast and one at a t-shirt shop where Claire bought some fancy Skecher shoes for $34. Then back to Flamingo One. Lunch? Cereal! I watched Barcelona show Man Utd how to win without breaking sweat and Claire had a nap.  Now at Starbucks in Weston. Tried the app on my phone that I use at home. I expected for it to register two drinks but not take money... It did the latter. Have no idea about the reward star!! Coffee in the sun Weston Town Center

FL19 - Sunday

A lie in. Cereal for breakfast. No bagels. No peanut butter. The out to see the street art at Flagler Art Village in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Once we got there it was pretty closed. So we had lunch at Henry's on the block.  Superb sandwiches. And coffee. Claire wanted to see the beach so we headed towards Ft Lauderdale Beach and A1A. Into heavy traffic. Nowhere to park and a pop concert clogging up the area. One entrepreneur offering "beach parking" for $40. Finally back and Claire in the pool. Me? Not today. Shade for me with Kindle. The pool is probably safer than the lakes on each side of the property. Gator!

FL19 - Sat'dy Too

Apartment sorted. We were rather longer than half an hour and we are in a smaller resort called Flamingo One down the road. We are second floor overlooking a small lake. You can just see it through the trees. This actually better than the main site as it is very crowded and in a more quiet area away from the freeway. View from Balcony Once the cases were lugged up we were out again to a Publix. Sadly no beer for gout foot Devall.  And another salad. . Salad from Publix And tomorrow's adventure? Maybe stay locally. We will be due our "usual" visit to the Flamingo Gardens -  https://www.flamingogardens.org  - and it is only a few blocks away. Monday we are off to the Keys.
