Weather....

We wake early and catch the sun rising over the beach from our hotel balcony.


CNN TV reports 40 ins (!!!) of snow in Virginia. All traffic has been banned on the roads of New York (a record breaking 25 ins so far, and still snowing). It is the Miami marathon today, and many participants are missing as snow-bound airports in central USA are shut and folks can't get here. On her way to work, Harriet spots the runners passing Port Miami, with the start just before dawn to avoid the day's heat.


After breakfast we swim a few lengths of the outdoor pool before anyone else thinks of it, then pedal down the beach to watch the surfers. Along the wide estuary path we share with a few other bikes, skate boarders and a very unsteady hover-boarder.
A couple of blocks away is the Holocaust memorial. An uncountable number of victims names, representing so many, many, more, are etched in black marble panels which reflect in the still lily pond.


Harriet is out tonight with work colleagues, to see Madonna on her "Rebel" tour, performing at the BasketBall stadium. She has a VIP ticket, so we are hoping for selfies with celebs!
