It was actually a rather pleasant flight to BA. Instead of taking the direct flight from JFK at a horribly expensive rate, we stopped over in Miami. We spent our layover in the airline lounge and caught an overnight flight that arrived at about 10:00 am. By the time we got to the hotel the room was ready so it all worked out quite well.
We had the rest of the day to walk around the city. The weather was absolutely magnificent so it was a great way to get reacquainted. This is Marie’s first time here. She didn’t expect the city to be as beautiful as it is.
At 7:30 pm the group got together for a dinner. We went to a nice Italian place.
The downer of the day is the one of our group, Patrick, was at an outdoor market and was robbed. It was the old scam of something being spilled on him, a couple of girls rush to clean him off while someone picked his wallet out of a zipped pocket. He lost his money and credit cards. It is an old but effective scam. You always have to be on total guard in cities like this.
Now that is a lamp pole.
If you have a camera and post about a city being beautiful there is an expectation of pictures. I know you know how to post pictures. Let’s see some pictures.
