The Wynwood Art District Not often do I prefer the concrete jungle to the real jungle, nature and my beloved wildlife, but now and then even I feel compelled to explore a little of the urban landscape. If you haven’t been to the area that is now called the Wynwood art district for some time […]

Coral Castle and Redland – ‘I’ll do anything for my sweet sixteen’!
Coral Castle Last month I finally I got to see Coral Castle. Well, it is quite the trip from Fort Lauderdale for someone who hasn’t got a car, and it isn’t strictly speaking all that old (1920’s and 1930’s), which to the Archaeologist in me does put it on the back burner somewhat.

Bayfront Park […]

When I set forth to explore the Biltmore Hotel, I vaguely remembered my first visit in 2005, and I recall an imposing building with a big lovely pool and something about Johnny Weismueller ( ‘Tarzan’) training in this pool. That was pretty much as far as my memory stretched. This time, I took it all in. As […]
