Sampling of Yachts

Today was a low key day, after our wonderful boating day yesterday. The photo is of a marina between A1A and the Intercoastal Waterway. One yacht was bigger than the next. The money down here is unbelievable.

I spent the morning attending to paperwork so we can mail while we are in a big city. Then, we headed to Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise, Florida for an afternoon of movies. We started with Curious George, a cute children's movie, based on the stories of Curious George. Mel was antsy during the show but clearly he hadn't read the adventures of Curious George as a child. The stories' highlights were woven through the movie that was more about the man in the yellow suit. I would recommend re-reading the books before seeing this charming movie. You will want to have Curious George come live with you too.

Then, we went to see the Pink Panther, with Steve Martin, Kevin Kline and Beyonce. This is Steve Martin at his finest comedic self but in the wrong role and movie. You can't out Peter Sellers Peter Sellers. However, I loved one of the cameo performances of a non credited actor.

Finally, we saw Firewall, a suspense thriller with Harrison Ford, Paul Bettany and Virginia Madsen. This is a movie worth seeing, even though there were some scenes not tied together in the end. But it was good to see Harrison Ford back on the screen again and strong performances from all the actors.

We went to a restaurant, called Empire Pizza Cafe for dinner. Now you would think that a place with the name pizza in it would have pizza. But not this place. Printed on the menu was a note to the effect that large and Sicilian pizzas are not served after 4 p.m. It was 6 p.m. so we were out of luck. Strange, isn't it? The food was still good but we probably won't revisit it with that kind of policy.
