Day 2 - Feb. 19th - Vizcaya

(http://www.vizcaya.org)

Up early, Starbucks for breakfast.  Gordon can't move until he has a latte in hand.  Then we head south, that is the car is pointed south but movement is practically non- existent.  Traffic is really dense.  Looks like all the baby boomers in the country have arrived or settled here.  Took nearly a hour to drive ten miles.

Vizcaya is beautiful if not a stunning example of opulence.  We'll let the pictures and the web site link above tell the story.  A most enjoyable stroll through some truly lovely gardens.  The architecture is also intriguing.

Decided based on the lovely pool and ah .......it's amenities..... to extend our stay at the Crowne Plaza for another night.  Ca-ching  Ca-Ching.

So after returning from Vizcaya we put on our swim suits and head to poolside.  Charles went for the huge hot tub and Gordon jumped into the pool....with his iphone in his suit pocket.  Panic !!!

Left the phone in the sun to bake and later in the hotel room in a makeshift oven heated by a hairdryer to no avail.   Dinner by the pool. Much Sadness.

Back in our hotel room Gordon began beating his head against a wall while crying on the bathroom floor.  Not really but he is saying he's so dumb dumb dumb!  Finding an Apple store will obviously be on the agenda first thing tomorrow else a further meltdown could ensue.
