The Ritz, the bus

Today started with coffee at The Ritz Carlton, and then a ride on the county bus to work.

up to the beach

Today, we’ll take a walk up to the beach to enjoy the people watching, have lunch and get out of the house for a bit. It’s a gorgeous, sunny day here in South Florida, and no doubt the beach is packed with tourists and locals enjoying the sun, sand and surf.

enjoy the silence

Having moved back to the beach from Manhattan, the silence is delicious. For ten months, we coped with trucks, buses and endless traffic whizzing by to Columbus Avenue five stories below. While you do sort of get used to the constant wall of sound, the absolute quiet and serenity of life on the beach is unbelievable.

after the storm

Tropical Storm Bonnie has come and gone, and we’re left with nothing but gorgeous blue skies and a few fluffy clouds. Seems like the perfect day for a walk up to the beach.
