No visit to Miami would be complete without a stroll through Coconut Grove, once a counterculture Mecca in the south, it's now more of an upscale shopping mall, but still retains much of it's bohemian atmosphere. |
The second story verandah at Fat Tuesday is an ideal location for having a frozen drink and watching the people below... there is always someone trying to put the "nut" back in Coconut Grove. |
After a few drinks we walked over to the AMC theater at CocoWalk to see Mission To Mars. Other visits to the Grove included a light dinner at Miami Subs (I love that place) and lunch at Johnny Rockets. |
In addition to the Grove, we also had dinner at Los Ranchos in Coral Gables, Cuban food at Villa Havana and lunch at T.G.I. Fridays at The Falls. |
One afternoon we saw Rules of Engagement at Miami's newest $3 million open-air mall, Shops at Sunset Place. |
