First week in Miami 2014


We arrived in Miami (Miami Gardens) on January 4th. We set up our camper at our new MAPS RV project at Trinity Church in Miami Gardens. The weather was rainy and cooler than South Floridians are use to.  It seems we got part of the Polar Vortex that gripped most of the country. 

Glenn and I traveled back to Savannah on Sunday so that Glenn could get his hearing aids on Monday;  then back to Miami on Monday after his appointment.  Well worth the trip.  Now he can hear even a whisper.  

Only a few of us have arrived and the job focus has changed. The men were to take a wall down but now they are going to remodel a building on the South Campus for students to take college courses from Southeastern University as a satellite campus.  

Mary and I went to the South Campus to help sweep debris after carpeting was taken up.  Next week we will help the men at that location cleaning or whatever is needed.  

It is not all work and no play....yesterday afternoon Mary, Georgie and I went shopping a little. Georgie has been here before and showed us where a variety of shops are located.  In the evening we all went out to eat.

Today, Saturday, we finally set up our easy up shealter  and all enjoyed the Florida breeze.


After we visited awhile, Glenn and I drove out to the beaches.

We walked along the boardwalk for awhile.  The ocean breeze felt so good on a warm day.




  


It seems like we walked for miles.  But I enjoyed the time together.  

After returning to the truck, we drove on further south to the South Beach end.  


This is the famous Ocean Blvd. 

Sights of the city on the way back to our home on wheels.  

Cruise line vessels in view.

There were about four lined up.  Wish I was scheduled to depart.

Someday maybe I will get to travel the Norwegian Epic.  
I hear the amazing Blue Man Group entertains aboard the Norwegian Epic.  That would be so nice.
