Thursday, April 14: Trip to Miami, Little Havana and South Beach

After us last night when I couldn’t get to sleep till past 1 AM I got a 

feeling pretty good.  I got up and started getting packed up get ready to go drive an hour and a half to Miami. We first 

stopped at a cigar place for Larry to pick up inexpensive cigars or expensive cigars for a good price. Literally around the corner little Havana awaited us. Last trip we wanted to go to Little Havana 

but couldn’t because I couldn’t find it this time he literally ran right into it really cool. We found a $10 an hour parking spot which came ahead because there’s actually

 no parking there at all. We walked around and absorbed the site and sounds that are really cool and unique. We found a taco place it was 
pretty affordable and casual and we can eat right next to being outside it was very well ventilated with a fan blowing etc. I had two 

soft tacos and they were quite delicious. After we ate, we drove down to Miami and Veronica did some kayaking. I just wasn’t 

in the mood to deal with it and Larry went to the car since he was parked at a place we’re not supposed to use it as a regular car parking lot but just 

use it to shop at Publix.  That’s a big-time store in Florida. He went back to the

 garage and I got myself a one-way Nonstop flight back to Philly

 on May 18. It was less than $300 which is pretty damn good for a nonstop 

these days with the high gas prices. I also am trying to change


 my flight for April 28 etc. but right now I’m not gonna be able to do that I 


have to call the airline. We got to the hotel and that took some doing because

 we had to empty the car then Larry and I parked the car and then we went to the 
hotel on Saturday. Yes tonight‘s rate is half of what tomorrow 

and it writes rate is. We then found a nice restaurant to eat. It is now 6:00 PM. I had it fettuccine Alfredo which was very 

good. We certain people watched. It was relaxing. We then walked around the beach and then did some window  shopping. I ended up getting a  souvenir T-shirt.  

Actually Veronica got it for me. We’re gonna be doing one of our short movies this weekend.  I believe. We came back to the hotel and

 settled in. We watched two episodes of Law and Order this evening. I haven’t
watch that show in quite some time. 

They were both very good episodes I thought. I was fell sleep in the beginning
of the second episode. I had a delicious latte which I didn’t finish. I’m going
 to  have that to start my morning because I’m sure the coffee in this adult is not very good. That was told me by Larry. Today was it good day. Tomorrow

 we’re getting up at 5 AM to catch a 615 Lyft ride to the bus place to go to Key West.It’s 10:45 PM I just been showering and I’m ready to go crash and 

get some sleep we’re getting up very very early.

Tuesday June 1: I Do Miami 🏖🐊🏄🏽Go Back to N Palm Beach

After getting a glorious wonderful sleep last night I woke up in a 

 comfortable bed with a nice breeze and quiet. Miami South Beach was very very quiet after last nights hard partying that was going on. There was 
no vandalism rioting

 or any negative stuff. Weatherwise if you don’t like seeing half naked women running around 
 with things hanging out. Anyway we got

up we found we walked around we found a place to eat. I got an omelette that was shaped like a pancake. What’s the long big omelette you get it a 

 iner. It was good though we then went back to the hotel relax for a bit and then checked out. After we checked out we took a 20 minute  

drive to the Winwood Walls Arts District of Miami. We declined going through the paid portions. But we did get to see a bunch of lovely murals. It was pretty spectacular

 I must say. I still remember parts of it from when I went to Florida at the end of January 2020 just before the pandemic. Now here
 I am going back does restrictions are waiting on the pandemic since we now have vaccinations. There’s a new mural of of George Floyd
 which obviously 
wasn’t there in January 2020 since the officer killed him on May 25. Today’s the anniversary of when Trump had troops teargas protesters and then pose with the Bible. It was a low point at that time. Well some 
 f the right wingers are calling for the overthrow the government. One of  them is Michael Flynn who was trumps first national
security advisor. He was at some QAnon conference in 

 Texas and was videotape saying it. Matt Getz the pedo called for 2nd Amendment solutions. I’ve 

 eard that one before. Well, after we left Wynnewood walls we headed towards

 a Little Havana. I think the sun was baking a saw  especially Larry. We ran into a a big load of traffic and we decided to not delve into Little Havana. We then
 drove home and I drove part of the way. Some of the Florida drivers are absolutely crazy. Cutting across three lanes to get off 5 Lane Highway. It   was ridiculous!!! Larry’s

 car is pretty high tech like if you go over them white Dash lines on the highway

 the car tells you when you’re late swerving so you don’t fall asleep

 when you drive. The cameras come along way since 1997. We got home and
I took a slight nap and it literally rained for 10 minutes during my 20 minute nap

 I didn’t even hear the rain walked out they were puddles. We then went out to eat to a Mexican restaurant
 within walking distance. We did drive. Food was delicious. Veronica and I walked home since I had a Pepsi and Larry doesn’t like 
anyone  drinking anything except water in his car. I need to walk anyway because I was pretty full. Rest of the night watched a little FBI on TV and then made a 
phone call and went to bed. I didn’t realize but I took a whole bunch of pictures at the Winwood walls that I didn’t look at yet until today.  

I sent  them to a few friends and I put a bunch on Instagram. One

 dude said he wanted to collaborate so I wrote him back I don’t know

 if he really needs that but it’s always good to answer queries like that. This 

 ave me a wealth of photos. That’s what’s nice about going to different  climate and different location everything 

 is completely new and things sparkle in my 👁’s. I like the sparkle. I’m not really looking forward to going back to work but you got to do what you Gotta do. 

 nyway I’m hoping the flight isn’t a cluster fuck and I can arrive. So when’s the last full day in sunny South Florida. While   was here, I only felt rain once the 

 ntire time. I could see how people get used to this climate down here. You just  have to have sunscreen and/or a hat. That is not an option otherwise. They 



 till make you wear a mask indoors like every other normal place. 

 but a few places nobody was wearing masks except the employees. Overall really fun experience it’s always nice to visit somewhere new and see old friends.
