Seeking warm weather, the ocean and beaches

This is in Hollywood Beach, FL.

The energy in the dance was directly proportional to the age of the person. It was heart warming to watch the folks having so much fun!

I saw this board on the boardwalk and the lady by it was trying to encourage us to come in to the Peruvian restaurant she was hawking for.

I asked her, after reading the board – “Why not just call it Happy Day?”

She asked me to go away. After giving me a menu of the restaurant!!

I still think I had logic on my side.

[Jokes aside, the food looked enticing. We will have dinner there today]

Cloudy morning and a jewel in the sky. Actually there is a second rainbow to the right but it is very faint. Theoretically, all rainbows have a second rainbow but usually are too faint for the eyes. Can you see the plane taking off from Fort Lauderdale airport in front of the rainbow?

For some reason, I was expecting much more turbid waters in Fort Lauderdale. Might be just the time of the year.

The top right one is a Harley Davidson WLA used in the second world war!

An old Lambretta! This brings back too many memories of growing up in India in the 70s!

When it comes to parrots, I guess, they will repeat. Remember how I was walking on the El Combate beach in Puerto Rico by myself – exactly a year back – and I thought I heard some parrots? It had taken me some searching with the Zoom lens of my camera to spot them.

Today, I was walking with Sharmila on the beach and the same thing happened. Except, this time I could detect the profile of the birds up on the tree and the digital zoom of my iphone was enough to capture them.

Yesterday we went for the motorcycle show for me. Today was the art show for her.

Pretty impressive how some of the artists have created work of art from very mundane objects… like, nails!!

Vijay and his son!! His son (Nikhil) was part of a band that was playing in the art show!

Upon Mark Meade’s suggestion (who seems to know all the cool eating joints all over the country), we went to GG’s Waterfront today. It is a beautiful set up on the Intercoastal. We did choose to stay inside in the bar to see the AFC finals!

I have been coming here for nearly two decades. Can’t remember the water looking this beautiful ever.

Juan from Cuba (and then Puerto Rico) and Lidia from Nicaragua. Learnt a lot about both the countries from their first hand experiences! Fascinating life journeys!
