In some ways today was a wash: It has rained all day and after a long first day, I awoke bleary eyed at 11 a.m. Had breakfast at a nearby iHop (all day breakfast) where the service was brisk and courteous, unlike many, many other place and locations, including the hotel I'm staying at.
I Was going to go to a place called The Freedom Tower. The tower is an exhibition venue and has a show on the Negro Baseball League. The link is a review of the exhibit by the Miami Herald.
The show, "We Are the Ship,” is by an award winning artist/illustrator--Kadir Nelson. The Miami Herald wrote, "42 breathtaking oil paintings and drawings rich with emotion fill the gallery, capture the soul and bring to life the story of professional pioneer black baseball players."
Read a lot at the hotel and napped some in the afternoon. Later, in the day...went to a street called the Miracle Mile. The area is respledent with high-end shops, valets, beautiful girls standing outside chic little stores with umbrellas in hand to assist customers to walk the 10 steps from the valet parking to the store.
I ended the day by reading and then watching a now defunct TV series called Firefly on Netflix. Tomorrow the plan is to drive downtown, catch the exhibit, then into Miami Beach, do some shopping for a gift for the kids and then hit the beach for as long as I can. Later, I will have to return the scooter and make my way back to the hotel by bus.
