St. John's Newfoundland - July 2024

 Stayed at Marriott Hotel on Duckworth, close to down town destinations.

Booked a couple of tours around the area, such as

Signal Hill


 Petty Harbour


 and Puffinland

The place is hilly and rocky

There are murals everywhere


Even paintings on the traffic boxes



 The main street here was closed off to vehicular traffic and patios were encroaching. Weather was good and food was excellent


 This is lobster Eggs Benny.

Yummm!

Florida

 January 2023


 Welcome to Miami.

Sculpture

Art Deco Weekend in South Beach, Miami.

Creative bench on patio.

View from bridge over International Waterway.

With the clear blue skies, I can see our hotel from here.


Breakwater Hotel on Ocean Drive, South Beach.

Roadway was restricted to pedestrians and bicycles only!


Flamingo sculpture (looks like it is grimacing).


 


Antique cars lining the street.

Winter weather in Florida was 18 - 22 degrees C.

Good enough to eat on the various patios (no exhaust fumes!)

This is The Villa Casa Casuarina, once home to Versace (Gianni Versace, Italian fashion mogul).



 

Palace bar (famous for its drag shows).

And ripped bartenders!

Colourful Nightlife:

 




Beach for hotel.

Bye-Bye.
