miami resolution.
20/30 daily miles on my bike.

here it is easy to ride a long time without stopping - there are some
climbs on the causeways
and the sweat on the back dries fast rather than turning into chilly
dampness like in nyc now.

yesterday there were too many jellies in the water to swim carefree.
i did touch a couple and i think i got stung on once on my foot.

last night rode to 77NW at the end of little haiti - looking for more
places to shoot - what has changed.
they opened and independent/hipster record store next to churchill's pub
http://churchillspub.com/
on NE 2nd av.
i get some Malta drink at the bodega -
there is a mass on the lot outside -
a young preacher talking in the PA about Jesus Christ's suffering to
save humanity.

today after a swim -
craving for larger waves i rode to Key Biscayne -
south of Miami Beach.

about 15 miles away.
such a different scene,
sailboats, kayaks
people riding nice road bikes,

in south beach i see mostly heavy and slow beach cruisers with rusty chains.

thick vegetation mangroves sailboats and quiet beaches.

ran into a curious raccoon and some turkey sized vultures.
some elder guys with telescopes -
they let me look at the sun.
just a fuzzy red dot in the telescope.

found that dive bar Jimbos on Virginia Key
had a Bud Lite and some smoked fish for 2 bucks -
they told me to come back sunday -
they have music and people start drinking in the morning.

it is on the waterfront surrounded by ficus trees

my odometer says 39.5 miles - gmaps says 37.88...
i think the odometer might be more accurate.

it was nice to get off the bike seat...
