Day 311 – Miami, Florida 06/28/11 Mileage: 18
Today I would say goodbye to my cousins Barbara and Murray who have been wonderful and accommodating hosts. But, I would also be saying hello to my friends John and Sabine whom I met in Brazil almost 2 months ago. They are moving to Brazil and will be literally flying out of Miami tomorrow to Sao Paulo with their two dogs Lua and Simba…so I’m so glad I was able to catch them before they left for good! I met them at their hotel and after a few quick beers we headed out for lunch at The Field Irish pub up in Fort Lauderdale.
Well, The Field is an awesome pub with great atmosphere…and our lunch quickly spiraled down the rabbit hole…especially after the double Patron’s and Guinness started flying. What started out as an innocent lunch was now an all out booze fest. Thankfully Sabine is a saint and was doing a good job corralling the two drunken idiots. The rest of the night was a blur with many gaps in the memory record, but I did apparently order ravioli (ps: I can’t even tell you when the last time I order $%#@ ravioli!?) at an Italian restaurant that I scantly remember being at.
Why are these pictures dark and out of focus? Well, I assure you there was nothing wrong with the camera, and everything wrong with the photographer!
Back at the hotel I tried to hold it together long enough to get a room after which I promptly went to bed….and by that I mean pass out cold.

So wonderful to see you. I so admire you and the fact that you set out to do one of your dreams and did it. I know that whatever you decide to do you will be terrific at it. Most important you have to please yourself and know you did what you wanted. I look forward to more adventures from you.
Great to see you Carla! Your comments and encouragement inspired me to keep up with the blog, I appreciate it!
I think I will have to ask Sabine for an honest answer and see which one of you is worse……you or John. She is a Saint.
Great having you back in NJ. Everyone is was so happy to see you last week!! Love ya, Mom
John is in a league of his own when it comes to partying…I’m an amateur compared to him! lol
