Traffic down here is really picking up. We keep seeing the buses for both the Saints and the Colts go by - one of the teams you can't miss - it has at least 20 police motorcycle escorts . The other one just has 2 at the front and 2 at the back. Each team also has 4-5 police car escorts too. Sure is a spectacle to see - each team has 4 team buses and 1 other bus, I assume for trainers/managers, etc. Oh, the police escorts all have their lights on and their sirens blaring all the time - they make quite an entrance to the beach area! The stage is coming along very nicely at the beach. In fact, it looks pretty much done to me. Today the vendors were starting to set up.
I took this picture as we were driving by the beach on A1A yesterday. The beaches yesterday and today were just packed! Tons of extra people around Fort Lauderdale. I guess you can't even begin to find a room tonight! This is a picture of the stage. Our "Taj Mahal" is just to the right behind the trees! We are on the 5th floor, though, so we have some wonderful views from our balconies! In fact, we're hoping to be able to see the fireworks from our balcony on Saturday night. Last night they had fireworks on the beach and we saw all of them!
Can you believe that Dave took this picture? He said he took it so his farmer friends would know what Florida farming is like! This John Deere is cleaning up debris from the beach - seaweed and blue jellyfish mainly!
After our morning walk to the beach, we went to have lunch w/Jami. She took us to a little diner called "Lester's Diner" where I ordered 2 eggs, bacon and American fries. I got 2 eggs, bacon and French fries!! Also my toast came after my eggs were almost eaten. Dave ordered a pork tenderloin. It came with gravy on it and no bun!!! Jami had cabbage and corned beef - hers was what we expected!! This afternoon and evening we just hung out, and now I'm waiting to watch Project Runway at 10:00 - if I can stay awake that long! Stay tuned...
