Beachin' weather (Day 5)

But of course we made it to the beach and much to my surprise SOME Florida beaches are not just repetitious exercises in flat, boring, sandy sameness.
Shoes off, wading, beach combing (no luck) even some solitary sitting and... breathing in the ocean air which bore with it just a faint hint of that fishy, salty and seaweed smell. (If ocean odors are not too overbearing, I do like it.)

Leaving for Miami in about an hour with an overnight stay at friends and then I'm off to hunt 'gators in the swamp. .. or something.
Not sure yet of the plan but then again I kind of like that.
