We drove south from Boca Raton in heavy traffic on I-95. Our first stop was to visit Jeff's paternal grandparents at Mount Sinai Cemetery in Opa-Locka, just west of Miami Beach. Then we headed east to see our friends Judee and Albert in Sunny Isles which is on the beach near 158th street. The area is dense with tall hotels and apartment buildings. A 50 story Ritz Carlton is going up across the street from their building. They are on the 15th floor with a terrific view and a nude beach across the street. A great location between the Atlantic Ocean and Intra Coastal Waterway.
We popped into bathing suits and walked across the street to the beach.
Friday night we were invited to Shabbat dinner at my cousin Eleanor's house. It was an incredible evening as we ate outside with 30 or more guests. Food and conversation was wonderful. Here we are in our dress up clothes posing in front of a mirror. On the way we drove past the Miami Boat Show and saw incredible yachts on display.
Saturday morning was another gorgeous day and there was a kite festival that we watched from the balcony.
Judee and I took a four mile walk which made my Fitbit very happy with over 15,000 steps that day.
Beautiful sunset looking south.
We walked to a local pier and had a delicious dinner and then took a ride north to see more tall buildings being built. Most impressive is the Porsche tower where multi million dollar condos have three car garages and plunge pools. Cars are brought up on three inside elevators.
