April 19th

This had to possibly be my favorite day of the vacation - began with a slow morning, were we took our time getting ready. We breakfasted sometime around 11:30 (maybe much later) with some huevo frito con tostada cubana on my part (sorry, didn't take a picture of that lovely delicacy.) We made our way to North Beach somewhat slowly thanks to traffic, but the drive was worth it. Thanks to Mi Cariño's family, we had access to some private strip of the playa. View from above:

and also

and then the view from my chair

You can go ahead and be jealous at all that blue.

After a couple of hours enjoying the sun and the water, and failing to build a sand castle, we eventually made our way to Miami Beach, where eggplant pizza was purchased somewhere. I did not take a picture of the pizza, but it was very tasty.

Beach View


Through Palm Tree lined streets we drive, 
as you point to past apartments,
gyms, place of employment, 
the street you walked down to go to
the beach. 


I dreamed of two state living, where we chase the heat. 
I dreamed of two state living, where our kids had a yard,
my mother had a garden, 
I dreamed that I was able to say no and to say yes
when I wanted to


and then you turned the corner and point
to what could be a future. A room with a 
beach view. 
Baby, I know how to swim, 


but all this water really, 
really scares me.
