Warmer in Denver than in Ft. Lauderdale 3-3-09




It was 45 degrees this morning with a high of 65 while it was 74 in Denver today. It has definitely been a topsy-turvy winter.

“Highlander” took off this morning at 8:45 a.m. bound for Riviera Beach and made it safely there by 4pm. We miss them already.

We decided to explore Ft. Lauderdale and took the #11 bus for a grand total of $1.20 for 2 seniors. We went to the downtown Museum of Art for their “Coming of Age: American Art, 1850-1950” exhibit. Although they only had one Georgia O’Keeffe painting, “Wave, Night”, they had a very interesting 45 minute retrospective video on her work. It was interesting to see an exhibit that cataloged American Art coming of age during this century.

We found our way again to the Riverwalk area for lunch. We also walked up to the New River and Cooley marinas to see if any Loopers had come in but none yet. When you travel so much, it is hard to catch a movie so when we saw the sign for “Sunrise Cinema”, we lined up and bought a ticket for “Grand Torino.” We really liked the movie and even though Clint Eastwood was doing another version of his Dirty Harry role, it was softened with the other nuances of his character as well as an amazing story of redemption.

Back to the boat to do lots of loads of laundry tonight which was made more interesting with conversation and wine with other liveaboards.
