A great place that feels like a small town, a very hip small town, but with all the benefits of being in a big city.<br />Sam Kressleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183512115978416601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-68340879390631733472014-04-10T22:11:34.534-04:002014-04-10T22:11:34.534-04:00I need to explore south Florida more, the tropical...I need to explore south Florida more, the tropical motif, art and events appeal, but I do like the slower pace here as well.

Florida for events and happenings, art, more Art, thrift stores! If I were single, I'd MUCH prefer S FL. But, for the life I have chosen, I enjoy Jax. I also enjoy the flora and fauna here a bit more. S. FL had quite the alien land and wildlife (coming from Pennsylvania!). I'm more "in-tune" with the earth here. i.e. more comfortable. B.

Just wanted you to know. The idea of going totally raw doesn't appeal to me. I don't think I could give up a lot of things I love like real pasta, rice, cheese and meat but I do need and want to get more fresh into my life.

Florida don't miss visiting Vizcaya, and also Coconut Grove. <br /><br />Love all those cool deco spots in South Beach...remember having a fab dinner on the porch of a restaurant right across from the beach while watching July 4th fireworks, while a guy riding by on a bike tried to steal my purse....ah, Florida! I do miss it, just not all of it. :)<br /><br />Wonderful photos, looking forward to seeing more of them.

Nor did we stay for the sunset performers, so I'll be back! Sad I missed the recent Dali exhibit in Avondale, I got an invite and didn't accept. Didn't realize how fast it was going to be out of there. Maybe they'll bring it back? I believe they did The Secret Art of Dr. Suess at the same gallery more than once. :D<br /><br />I'll be updating with more South Florida travel photos, there were some really awesome bars/hotel lobbies I had to snap shots of.

Hemingway House (yes, please!!) and the Dali Museum (always wanted to go there)! Did you see the Dali exhibit that was in an Avondale gallery a while back? It was fabulous! And oh boy, the Art Deco in Miami!! You're hitting all my happy buttons this morning, Van!!B.

At the time I think they were building a new building for it and the plans looked pretty amazing as well. If you aren't a Dali expert which I am far from I'd take the guided tour. You learn so much about each painting. It was super interesting. I'm so glad I went. My sister thought it was boring. She'd be happier on the beach or in a shopping mall.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938880698057594793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-54804058242208873532014-04-09T09:08:29.341-04:002014-04-09T09:08:29.341-04:00Thanks Lana!
