We had heard so much about South Miami Beach that we finally decided to drive over and check it out for ourselves. We put the top down on the Miata and took off early in the morning. Along the way we drove across Florida's famed "Alligator Alley", and actually saw a couple of dozen 'gators in water beside the road. Fortunately there was a chain link fence the entire length of the highway so we weren't having to dodge the critters! Wouldn't you know it but we got caught in a 5-minute downpour on an interstate just outside of Miami. We were soaked, but that's part of what makes driving in a convertible interesting!
The weather in Miami was partly cloudy during our visit, but fortunately there was no more rain. It was a bit chilly and the winter tourist season had not gotten underway yet, so it was not crowded. The sights of "art deco" south Miami Beach were very interesting and the food was great! The following are the best of the pictures we took during our two day visit.
