We grabbed a cab to the terminal rather than schlepp all our bags on the walking journey. Well worth $15.

Yes, I liked the homes there in the old part of town as well. But Duval St? Blech.

@Copper said in Back home:

Did you go to Miami without your Spanish/English dictionary?

Big mistake

It's a suburb of Cuba. But the Cuban bakeries there are incredible, as is the coffee.

We made that Keys trip a few years ago.

Into Miami, then over to Naples for a visit, then stayed on Duck Key with time in Key West and Islamorada. We ate at that restaurant on the beach in Islamorada.

I like all those places.

I had a forgettable piece of key lime pie there once. No idea what all the fuss about that is.

Mik

We did a survey of key lime pies this week. Key Lime Pie Lady was the winner. Awesome.

MOAR ABOUT THE DOLPHINS!

Mik

It was fun. You get in and you pet them, get a kiss, a ride holding on to the dorsal fin, etc. I had a splash fight with one.

BUT.... this trip was all about the CAT! A gorgeous, very loving stray that showed up the second night. If we had been driving, he would have come home with us. Never met a more affectionate cat.

So, over the next few days I put on the full court press to find him a home. And we did. he now lives in luxury and love with a neighbor down there.

Speaking of cats, were the current residents good while you were gone?

Mik

Yes, but they were glad to see us. We had a friend take care of them.

@Mik <A gorgeous, very loving stray that showed up the second night. >

Gorgeous, yes. A beautiful face.

Good on you for finding him a happy ending, truly.

Mik

You should have seen his markings..like a Savannah cat, with a ringed tail like a lemur. He's striking and handsome.
