Key Biscayne Journal

April 5, 1997
Sunny 82 degrees


Woke up at 7:30am and had some coffee on the balcony. What a way to start your day. Watching palm trees blowing in a nice ocean breeze.

Went for a walk on the beach for about 2 miles. The water is probably around 70 to 75 degrees. Very warm.

Following our walk, we went down to tour an old house called Vizcaya. It was built in the early 1900's by an industrialist named John Deiring.

This was an awesome house located right on the ocean. Even has it's own huge carved stone docks. Anyway, it was very interesting.

Next, we drove up to Bal Harbor to see what it was like. I had heard many great things about it from my relatives who used to visit there in years past. Very nice place. The ocean was so blue there. Just like a photograph. Really unimaginable unless you actually see it yourself. Bal Harbor is a very well kept city. Apparently, former senator Bob Dole has a place in Bal Harbor. But, we did not run into him during our brief visit.

Next, we drove down to South Beach and then back to Key Biscayne for lunch. Just picked up something quick at KFC.

Went for an estimated 3 mile walk after lunch. (around 4:15pm) Upon our return, I mixed up some of the finest martinis ever concocted by man. Sipped martinis and enjoyed a great cigar on the balcony.

What a way to spend the week! Martinis, cigars and beautiful women everywhere you look.

Around 9:00pm, we called a taxi and went over to South Beach to visit some bars....

We ended up at the Breakwater Hotel drinking $5.75 Heinekens and watching two beautiful latinas dancing to the music of a guitarist named Alex Fox.

We're having a great time......
