So many months into Covid now, and probably so many more to go unfortunately.
Just missing getting out and down to Florida for a little vacation.
The palm trees. The sun. The beach. A little fun.
This isn't forever, right?
Hopefully, let's pray, Covid will be over and we can live again in freedom and without fear of contagion every moment of every day, day, day. ;-)

Donuts With Syringe
So I never actually saw donuts being sold with the syringe.
I get that they use the syringe to put the custard, jelly, and other fillings inside.
But leaving the syringe hanging out of the donuts like that conjures up images of addicts and junkies.
DESPITE that, these incredibly rich and overflowing donuts with gobs of toppings were some of the finest I've ever seen.
Takes more than a good dose of willpower to resist and not become an addict of these carbohydrate powerhouses.

Limp Noodles {SAD}
No, they're not noodles.
They are pencils in the museum.
And they are certainly limp, if not completely dead.
Who in the world would use a clown pencil like this?
This is some serious dysfunction.
If I could, I would certainly prescribe some much needed Viagra for these. LOL
They are that sad! ;-)

Beautiful Solar Power
Thought this was a beautiful rendition of solar power.
You can have energy.
And you can have art.
Here you can have both.
It's functional to harness the sun's energy and it's designed to look sleek and fit the landscape.
Nice job by Florida Power and Light (FPL)! ;-)

Superhero Dress
This dress was a standout.
Superhero dress by D&G.
Comic style with the pow and bam!
I don't get the pig superhero logo on the jacket and other merchandise next to it.
Uh, who wants to wear and look like a pig?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
D&G is off the deep end. ;-)

Impressive Brightline
Just wanted to say how impressed I was with the new Brightline train system in Florida.
Right now it goes from Miami straight to Fort Lauderdale and then to Palm Beach.
I took it between Fort Lauderdale and Miami and it was a quick 30 minute ride--no traffic yay!
The trains are modern and sleek, and the stations were automated, clean, secured with guards and scanners, and had a beautiful lounge waiting area (and they announce the train arrival like 10 minutes before it arrives).
Also, the staff was friendly and helpful, and they even came around with a food cart.
I understand they are adding additional stops for Aventura and Boca Raton.
I would definitely take this train again--way to go! ;-)

Graffiti Art
I really love Graffiti Art!
Went to Wynwood Walls in Miami.
The art is just fantastic.
Better than the typical museum.
So creative.
So big.
So colorful.
So full of life.
They took a whole rundown neighborhood and made it cool and great.
On December 5, they will be opening the Museum of Graffiti.
Can't wait to go back and immerse myself in it! ;-)

Birds Dropping In For Lunch
These birds decided to swoop in for some lunch.
It was funny to see the people go scrambling from the table.
The birds were completely unabashed and took their time over the chow.
One couple in the corner had ordered this truly enormous meal (don't worry, I was good and ate only the salad).
Each of them had a full lunch plate PLUS in the center of their table was "The Volcano" of nachos, cheese, chili, guacamole, sour cream, and jalapenos.
That was certainly no bird food with The Volcano punching in at 3,500 calories!
I have no idea how any two people could possibly eat that much food.
Probably good that the birds decided to drop in. ;-)

D.C. Living
I can't believe this home is in Washington, D.C.
More like Florida.
All we need is a palm tree or two.
Plus a little pool in the back.
And we're good! ;-)

Check Out Those Rims
Pimp my ride! LOL
Check out those awesome gold rims with this blue "oldies" car.
This was definitely a standout even down there where there are plenty of Bentleys and Lamborghinis driving around.
The owner of the car gave me a big thumbs up when I tool this photo.
Hope you enjoy and Shabbat Shalom!

Searching For Gold
He's in the ocean dressed in a full wetsuit with a mask over his face, a hat on his head, and the headphones over his ears.
He had a metal detector and wand looking for lost gold in the water right off the beach.
But didn't see him find a dime the whole time we were there.
I can't believe these guys can actually find enough jewelry on the beach to make this worth while.
Back and forth with the wand...searching, searching. ;-)

Best Chicken Lo Mein (Kosher)
Best Chicken Lo Mein (Kosher too!) that I ever had.
At China Bistro and Sushi in Hollywood, Florida.
Order the extra chicken for a couple of bucks.
Well worth it!
Steaming hot from the wok.
And don't forget to make it extra spicy! ;-)
