Friday
We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale at about 11.30am, Eastern time. The people from the hotel told us to just call when we got to the terminal and they’d come get us. What we were about to learn was, nobody in Ft Lauderdal is in a hurry. When I called, they said it would be 15 minutes. We waited over and hour and a half. We eventually made it to the Red Carpet Inn. We were not really impressed with the place, but it didn’t matter.
So after we got all checked in and settled and whatnot we decided to wander around the area and see what’s up. Since we didn’t know where we wanted to go, it didn’t make any sense to call a cab, so we decided to walk. So we wandered about for several hours and decided to get something to eat. Our handy dandy tourist map told us about a place called Shirttale Charlies which was nearby.
The place was really cool. The whole place was this big deck over the river there. Complete with watertaxi’s and everything. That big metal thing you see in the picture there is actually a bridge for a train. It was pretty cool to see that thing operate. The service was slow, but the food was quite good.
After that we took a cab back to the hotel and went to bed.
Aww, you look so goofy-happy in that picture. Yay for Dave and having tons of totally rad fun!
