A Big Circle Around Miami

This is our map for today.  This hotel was chosen originally because we were planning to head south to Key West the first morning.  With the storm changing our plans, we did not rethink our choice.



Here is the map of what we are doing today.  We organized it well, and we made a big circle.  We put 125 miles on the car today, but had a great time.







The first stop was Oleta State Park in North Miami Beach.  It was pretty deserted this morning, but we walked along the Oleta River.




We the went to lunch at Captain Jim's Seafood Market and Restaurant.  This is exactly what it is, a well stocked fish market with a restaurant attached.






After lunch, we headed East to the barrier island and A1A.  We headed south through many nice neighborhoods and crossed back inland to visit the Wynwood Arts District.  There are many interesting examples of murals covering the entire side of many building in this area.








We visited a food-truck court called The Wynwood Yard.  This would be a great place to eat... if we had not just eaten.



We also found a nice place for ice cream.

Then we took a drive to Virginia Key Beach Park, where we enjoyed a relaxing hour on the beach.


For dinner, we traveled to Coral Gables to Swine, BBQ and house made sausages for Happy Hour.


 




One last stop:  Looking for sunset: Matheson Hammock Park in Coral Gables
