The Beach at Ft. Lauderdale

Since I had an extra couple of days in Florida, I spent Sunday with Nancy. We drove to the coast and took the water taxi that runs along the Inter-Coastal. We didn't go far before we got off...had lunch at Sloppy Joe's - Fort Lauderdale (the "original" is in Key West). Let me tell you...that place was hoppin' as well as all the other food places along the beach! Enjoyed eating outside with a wonderful view of the ocean! Lots of sailboats, people and sun! After we had lunch we got back on the water taxi (you buy a ticket that's good for all day...you can get on and off any time you want).

The water taxi was fun! We had great tour guides along the way pointing out all the homes along the Inter-Coastal. There were homes owned by lots of famous people as well as homes owned by wealthy families as well! You should have seen the yachts parked outside many of them! Of course, there were lots of yachts running up and down as well and it was nothing to see them outside of some of the bars and restaurants!


The beach at Fort Lauderdale was the first time in Florida I saw waves at the beach! What's up with that? The water was pretty warm...especially since I'm used to that cold Pacific Ocean water! Lots of people at the beach, you could tell it was Spring Break for many!

The day flew by. By the time we got back to our stop it was 8:00 p.m. I took Nancy home and had to say good-bye! It was lots of fun to see her after so much time. I'm hoping that we'll be able to get together sooner than 5 years!
