 This is a Miami landmark, started selling lemonade here in 1978.  It's on Bayshore Drive.  We rode our bikes to Starbucks and sat there for awhile then rode around till we saw this guy selling iced lemonade and, since we were getting really hot, we stopped and bought a couple.  There are great bike trails around Coconut Grove and everyone is really used to joggers and bicyclists it seems.  But this park here had an old guy that told us we weren't supposed to ride there.  He yelled, "Didn't you see the sign?"  But there wasn't a sign and he was just an old jerk.  I asked Jay why he didn't go over there and punch the guy but he said he didn't think it was appropriate.
This should have been the first picture, but I'm still trying to get the hang of it.  I thought I HAD gotten the hang of it, but apparently not.  Anyway, this is the place where one of the Burn Notice shows was filmed and this is like the seat they were sitting on... or one of them.  There are a lot of these red velvet loveseats  all along the sidewalk.  It's mostly outside seating.  There's a big warehouse down by the waterfront where Rhonwyn says that Burn Notice has some of their filming.  I still haven't seen that big old building where Michael lives.
Jay wants to go fishing and we spent half the day trying to find a place that sells fishing licenses.  We finally had to drive ten miles way out south and west to get one.  Walden has four places within two blocks that sells fishing and hunting licenses and Miami has one within one million blocks that sells them.  We couldn't figure that out.  But we got a consolation for having to travel forever out there, there was a Denny's in the same shopping mall and so we got to eat supper at Denny's.  Both Rhonwyn and Steve gagged when we told them what we did.  It IS kind of embarrassing!

  1. Is my dad really wearing a long sleeve shirt and socks under his sandals and a pocket protector on his bike ride around Miami? Doesn't he have some Bermuda shorts? I know he owns t-shirts. But he'll come back to North Park and be out lying in the yard in his cut off shorts and shirtless with snow banks around him in a few weeks probably. That guy. You North Parkers make adorable Florida tourists. That old jerk was probably just agog at the socks.

    1. He was talking to ME!! That's why I wanted your dad to beat him up. I said the same thing to your dad about his attire. And his shirt was dripping wet when we got back to the house.

  2. You had quite a day! Joseph is going to be jealous about you going to Denny's without him.
