I was a special gift to my owner, on Valentines Day 1996 from someone very special. We are embarking on a bit of travel, so you will be able to follow our adventures and tales, as I keep this sort of diary for my owner. You could say this is my version of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Something to keep you amused while we are on our journey. Please add comments, we like to hear back from you.

Fort Lauderdale, Day 2



Sat. May 19, 2007 Exp 86F, Thunderstorms in the Afternoon.
We had breakfast by the pool, sunning out pale legs, to get the Florida tan. I will update the Posts over the next few days and a few pics. Later in the morning we headed out to the other end of the bus route, to Lauderhill Mall. When going thru downtown, we noticed the main public library, which we visited on the return trip. I have to include this note as my owner said it's for Taxation Purposes, not sure what he means by that.
My owner likes to use the local buses in the places that we visit, as he says that you get to see a lot of the real people and places. The bus that runs near our motel runs between Galleria Mall and Lauderhill Mall, and it is trip between what you may say is the extremes. Galleria is upmarket, Macy's, Neimann Marcus and various quality stores, and Lauderhill would cater for the other end of the market. When we arrived at Lauderhill, you could say that me and my owner were about the only pale fur and skinned persons in the place. My owner found a shop that had the greatest range of suits in any colour, and yes there was a nice bright red suit there for only $99. The suits were very colourful, bright yellow with black pin strip, shades of purple and green etc. as he described them "pimping colours"

Thanks to the person from India who left a comment on yesterdays posting, My owner and I thank you for your comment and glad that you are enjoying our adventure. We have also received a comment from Turkey.

We have found a nice way to cool down, catch a bus, the AC on the buses is very affective, we have even seen on passenger wrapped in a blanket.

Fort Lauderdale, Day 1

Friday, May 18, 2007. Exp 86F. Sunny Possible Thunderstorms.
Early walk along the beach front, to check out where things are. Eventually worked out the buses, and headed in the afternoon to Galleria, my owner need to get a new watch band. We sat around the pool for a while in the afternoon, chatting with Joel, a sports medicine doctor from Chicago. Thunderstorms arrived and the rain came down so continued talking under the veranda, till he left to pick up a buddy at the airport and then heading down the keys for a bit of scuba diving. For Dinner we headed down to the 'Beach Place' on Beach Blvd. and had chicken parmigiana, which was a bit differnet, a couple of pieces of chicken served on pasta.
