Moon Over Miami

This was the beginning of the full moon over Miami weekend. A local Miamian explained that on the night of the full moon, there is a drum circle at midnight on South Beach, too late for us to visit but I did try to capture it.

It was a backwards day for us. We started with seeing a movie, Last Holiday, a comedy with Queen Latifah. It was charming and the costumes were fun. Afterwards we stopped at a pizza stand next to the theater. We have been in search of pizza here in Miami, not a staple here like in Chicago.

Then, we stopped at Best Buy and finally acquired a Direct TV receiver so we can use our satellite dish. We wanted to buy the equipment before we left Chicago but have been managing with local stations and occasional cable hook-ups depending on the RV parks that we stay at. We still are having trouble adjusting to the eastern time zone. With DVR, we will be able to record favorites and go to bed at a reasonable hour so we can be up early enough to begin our touring. Why is TV important when one is on a trip of this kind? We are like everyone else, when the sun goes down, into the RV, we go. Yes, we have books, magazines, puzzles, music and other forms of entertainment, but we like to keep up with our favorite shows and what is going on in the world.

To help ourselves to get good night sleeps, we bought new sheets and pillows. We have been princess and the pea-like trying to make our bedroom just right. Hope we got it right now.

When we returned to the RV campsite, we decided to do our laundry at 8:00 p.m. While that may not be late for normal people, it is unusual to see campers doing laundry at night. Oh well, as I said it was a topsy-turvey day.
