Miami Day Two: Water-ing

We began Miami Full Day One with petfecto pastries at Rosetta’s Bakery near our AirBnB here in the Brickell district of downtown Miami.

Next, we walked (oh my gosh, did we walk!) to the Bayside Marketplace on Biscayne Bay for our 9:30 Miami and Miami Beach boat tour.

An afternoon swim at the pool.

Today was Robert’s bday, and we celebrated at the beautifully delicious Truluck’s restaurant.

Which had a lighted menu!

Sharing a shrimp cocktail appetizer.

Fruity water (which somehow seemed pretty appropriate) …

The Stone Crab Claw Platter for HR. Sweet and Spicy Grouper for me.

And a surprise Baked Alaska dessert, courtesy of the restaurant.

We ended our special day with a dazzling nighttime view of Miami aboard the touristry fun Skyviews Observation Wheel.

A beautiful birthday celebration around the water.

“Robert and … #26”

A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything

Robert (aka HR) back in February and … his healing-from-pneumonia/Covid walks in Savannah squares near us.

Pulaski Square here. With his portable oxygen. And (notice his finger) his oxygen saturation thingy.

My fellow. All better today!

Late Sunday Evening Reflection

I just don’t get the ongoing racism in our world. Even though I am sure as a 70-year-old white man, I have racist assumptions and probably racist actions now and again.

As you know, if you follow my blog, I am married to a black man, HR (Husband Robert), The joy of my life.

Today we were at my grandtwins’ 10th birthday party (more about that in another post).

Three -year-old granddaughter Isabelle was all about Robert holding her throughout the party. Not me. Robert. He was more fun.

Isabelle kept wanting to have her foot pictured. And of course Robert obliged.

If only we all had the intelligence and the footprint of three–year-olds.
