After a
fun night we had a hard time getting out of bed. My plan was to have lunch in South Beach, and window shop on Lincoln Road. However, we were not feeling so well this day. We never go out dancing, and we are definitely getting old. We had a late breakfast at the hotel and we went to see one of my childhood friends in Downtown. We didn't even feel like relaxing at the beautiful pool in her building. We parked at the meters by the Intercontinental hotel and walked one block to her building. That is where I took the pictures of Biscayne bay.

After the short visit, it was time for lunch. Our last stop in Miami was at
La Carreta, a great cuban restaurant. There are 8 locations in Miami including one in the AmericanAirlines terminal at Miami International Airport. The one at the airport is fast food style, so the quality of the sit down restaurants is a lot better.
After a delicious cuban lunch we drove back to Tampa. Weekends are never long enough and they are even shorter when there are so many things to do. I am sure that we will be back to Miami soon and on my next trip I will take more pictures. I promised a friend to write about my favorite places in Miami for her upcoming trip. I will find some old pictures and do a long post about it.

DeleteMiami has such a great distinctive style of architecture. Whether people love or they hate it...you have to admit it's unlike anywhere else!
ReplyDeleteI love Miami and the modern downtown buildings!!! I would love to live there! Maybe someday :)
DeleteOoh, beautiful photos! Your posts always make me want to travel. I want to go to Miami! And it's so true, weekends are NEVER long enough... it's Friday now and I'm almost angry because I know if I blink and open my eyes, it'll be Monday and back at work!
ReplyDeleteI love Fridays but I hate sundays!!! since I was a kid, Sundays @ 6:00PM are my least favorite time of the week.
DeleteI would love to see where the travel bug will get you and your camera!!! :-)
I have been in la Carreta many times (is not the same one at the airport?) HAHA - also Cafe Versalles YUMMY!!! I don't think I have gone to Bayfront Park or Chopin Plaza ;)
