Turning 55 in MIAMI!

 
I guess we left San Diego EARLY.

And arrived in Miami LATE.

Our vacation club is named Bluegreen, so I guess that's their color theme.

In our room.  Made me think of Nanny.


Lamps and plants at Manolo, a restaurant for a late dinner.

Jirafita and her mask.

Breakfast under the flags.



The Betsy Orb.



Miami BEACH!























Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach.














She's such a pig.

Calle Ocho in Little Havana.















Miami Design District.







This geode is, like, 24" tall.












Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.














































This is available for purchase.  It's $250,000.00!













eL Seed is a French-Tunisian street artist whose works incorporate traditional Arabic calligraphy, a style he calls calligraffiti. Since the 2011 Tunisian revolution, eL Seed has consciously used his art as a tool of political expression, much like Egypt's Mohamed Mahmoud graffiti.

eL Seed uses Arabic calligraphy and a distinctive style to spread messages of peace, unity and to underline the commonalities of human existence. 



















Yep, I laid down on the dirty sidewalk for this shot!















Evening on the beach in front of our hotel.








Lush!




Prepping for a nap on the beach.















































This guy was an ABSOLUTE ham!





Iguanas were EVERYWHERE!!

This pygmy hippopotamus was HILARIOUS!!!


THIS guy was surreptitiously flipping everyone the BIRD!















She's sad.
