Trip to Miami

-
We are in Miami.
I have let yesterday slip by leisurely at the pool in our hotel - The Mandarin Oriental.
It was such a relaxing day, sunbathing, reading and swimming.
Across the water is down town Miami with its towering sky risers glowing in the sun.
Jules came over from work to have lunch with me at cafe` Sambal which has an Asian menu.
I did yoga twice, drank fresh juices, ate light and delicious food.
For dinner we went to our old hangout restaurant Su- Shin Izkaya in Coral Gables.
They serve the best vegetarian Japanese food you can imagine.
Today I am driving with my mother and sister for a short trip to Key West (a vacation from the vacation).

We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years storm to hit
