The daily walks average between 12,000 and 18,000 paces ---- at a stride of 2 1/2 feet, you can do the math on total distance. In the evenings the route can be through balmy patio diners. But last sunny Sunday we reflected on some glorious classic cars. Two I had never seen before: a 1949 Kaiser Carolina and a 1947 Playboy, made in Buffalo N.Y.! (Notice the hardtop convertible, way ahead of its time.)
The last day of the Art Deco festival also featured ARF-Deco, a parade of local dogs and owners, some of which looked like each other in Art Deco duds. Other walks this week included the Harbor Park zone of Miami with mega-yachts and sparkling towers. And have you ever seen a 6 ft. tall model posing upside-down in 6 in. heels on sand? Any guesses what product she was modelling??
We were out this morning before dawn to cheer on runners in today's Miami Marathon. (At 53 degrees Farenheit it was cold for the locals!) First through were the so-called "disabled" on their hi-tech machines. They looked pretty able and inspiring to us! Then there followed at least 26,000 runners in masses along scenic Ocean Road. Fantastic scene of dedication, perseverence, struggle, and lots of costumed fun. All ages and many countries represented, from 80-year old Swiss to 8-year old Canadian!
We walk a lot but seeing all these people having so much fun and triumph makes us want to do a marathon, too. Any other joiners out there?
