Icons....

Sunday is spent shopping with Harriet at iconic retail outlets (in the suburb of Kendall) including DSW designer shoes, Trader Joes and Macy's.








The latter is so big we get lost inside. On the plus side, they give us 10% discount just because we are foreign visitors! The mall food court is brilliant with cuisine from Japanese, American, Chinese, Thai and many others, and I love my Stromboli from the Italian counter.
We are in need of a cycle on Monday to counteract the shopping mall experience, and put in 32 miles along US Highway 1, pausing to look at the famous Bacardi Building and the Coppertone advert.

















We reach Oleta State Park where Ospreys are as common as the Buzzards back home. There are many families enjoying bbqs in the park as it is a national holiday for Martin Luther King Day.
Then we return in a circular route over a couple of bridges, where we have to hop onto the sidewalk. Pedestrians never complain at sharing with bikes, and are always so polite.








In a small pond beside the road, we spot a skulking wader, a Green Heron.
