Drove over to Key Biscayne to Bill Baggs Park. Not only was there a light house and a keeper's cottage, there were a lot of opportunities to do so me walking. We saw a neat little inlet called "No Name" Harbor. Boats could sail in there and spend the night with a little protection from the sea. There were trails to walk thru the mangroves, which we did. We did some driving around too. Pretty big park on the southern tip of Key Biscayne.
We drove through the Art Deco strip of Miami Beach. Lots of shops and lots of people wandering around. Looks like it would be a great place for nightlife. We didn't go out on the beach.
For dinner we drove over to the Bayside Marketplace, next to the American Airlines Arena, and not too far from the cruise line wharfs. This place was nice as well. It was an indoor/outdoor mall with live entertainment. It reminded me of a mall in Honolulu. There were outdoor restaurants where you could sit and overlook the waterfront and hear the music. We decided on a Cuban restaurant called Mambo's. I had a combo plate with black beans, rice, ground beef creole, cassava, a tamale, and a serving of fire roasted, crispy pork. Greg had a Cuban marinated steak, with Plantains, black beans and rice. We topped off dinner with a Cuban Coffee. It was a yummy meal. We strolled around and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Marketplace after dark.
