Last weekend we finally began to explore the rest of the state of Florida- beginning with Miami. We didn't reserve anything ahead of time, which worked out great for us as we got a great deal just off the beach in an old hotel that was built back in 1939. We spent Saturday walking around South Beach, enjoying the clear water, and getting our fill of Cuban food.
This is the hotel we stayed inn- (get it?)
The view of the beach from our room-
The entire area kept is original architecture, which made all the street scenes very uniqe and colorful.
So far, this is the best Florida beach we have seen yet. The water was clear and clean, the waves were larger than in the gulf, and the characters on the beach really kept us entertained.
Saturday night after dinner we sat outside our hotel enjoying some mixed drinks and desserts.
Sunday morning we spent a little while out on the beach before check-out time, then headed into Miami to see the Bayside Marketplace, which my Dad worked on back during construction. He tells me I saw it back when I was 9 months, and as far as I can tell, it hasn't changes a bit.
Following another great Cuban meal, we headed on back to St. Pete via Alligator Alley. Not much to see on this drive...
