Went down to South Beach in Miami with a friend Sun­day, they were hav­ing their annual Art Deco Week­end fes­ti­val.  Ocean Drive was closed between 5th and 15th Streets where they had many booths, ven­dors and the cars dis­played.  The weather was a lit­tle iffy with over­cast skies and a high prob­a­bil­ity of rain.  I think the weather tamped down atten­dance some and there really were not many cars being displayed.

I did see a very nice LaSalle, along with a few early six­ties Cadil­lacs and one nice exam­ple of an ear­lier model Caddy, but was some­what dis­ap­pointed to not see any of my favorites, the 58 & 59 Cad­dys.  As it turned out we were for­tu­nate that we decided to go down early, we arrived as they were open­ing and when leav­ing after lunch it started to shower as we headed for the car.  What looked like a shower turned into a del­uge and it poured the whole time we drove back up to Boca.

It has been hec­tic since I arrived here, what with get­ting plumb­ing repairs done, tile floors fixed, clean­ing and open­ing things up, etc.  Last year saw us hurry out of here on very short notice, leav­ing projects unfin­ished which is caus­ing much more work as we open up this sea­son.  The weather has improved greatly and is back to what we come to South Florida to enjoy.  Only regret is hav­ing to leave my car behind, but I will be back to it in March…
