Where's Wendy? South Beach, Miami, Florida!!

The last stop on our mini escape was Miami, I hadn't been there since the 70's and my partner had never been. Of course we stopped off at the Hard Rock Miami, for dinner and a cocktail, before exploring other parts of Miami. You will find that a lot of my post's will include shots and info about the Hard Rock... I believe it is our goal to visit each and every one! This particular Hard Rock happened to hold a bar that was a replica of Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstein guitar! We were seated in a booth surrounded by Elvis (my personal favorite), and our waiter Dave was awesome! After dinner we browsed the memorabilia of 100's of artist while listening to great music on the Hard Rock music channel.

It was getting late (almost dark) when we left the Hard Rock, and made our way to Ocean Drive, and South Beach. I hadn't visited the Atlantic Ocean in several years, yet the water was just as beautiful and blue as I remembered it in the past!

After a walk and a few shots (photographic, not alcoholic) :) on the beach we made our way down Ocean Drive where the night life is really kickin! If it weren't so late I would have loved to stop and take night shots of all the great restaurants, hotels, motels and clubs. The ambient light was amazing! Rainbows of neon for as far as the eye could see. Beautiful! But Alas, it was late, and we still had a 3 hour drive back home.

I will be heading back to Miami soon to capture all of it's beauty including Ocean Drive... with it's lighted venues, amazing cars, and exciting night life. Spending more time in South Beach is definitely on my schedule!
