Miami Heat

The weather was perfect in Miami, sunny 75-80 degrees each day. Beautiful. Steven and Julia enjoyed Cuban sandwiches. We had octopus, scallops, and tartare that were super delicious. The restaurant served us Vichy Catalan sparkling water; it was salty and we loved it! It is from Spain.

South Beach was busy, loud, and beautiful. Steven went into the ocean; he said it was ~72 degrees, not bad. The hotel pool on the 18th-floor roof deck was like bathwater. Pictured below is the Bayside Banyan tree--a monumental tree native to India. The roots grow down from the branches and once on the ground develop into tree trunks. We visited the Wynwood Walls, artsy and interesting. We saw some free-range, roaming chickens along the park. And, there was plenty set up and ready to go for the super bowl coming this weekend. Most importantly, Steven remained in good health throughout the trip. Success!
