Road Trip - Day Four
And then the wonderland of Florida, its billboards and its bling. We drove past Gainesville, place where decades ago (or was it yesterday?) where Charlotte and I met in an anthropology class and, in a sense, a longer road trip began...of which this is a side trip. And then, after cruising Alligator Alley, we arrived in vast, diverse, cosmopolitan, sun-splashed metro Miami. 
And the palm tree (cared for in Fort Collins for the past months and decorated for Christmas by Charlotte) arrived along with the sofa, bed, CDs, clothes, books, wine glasses, bunt pans, lamps, paintings, cabinets, tv, watering cans, pottery, pots and pans, stereo speakers, keyboard, chairs...safe and sound. The stuff of our lives. Leaving the unloading to the next day, we sat on the balcony of Tom and Halie's apartment, looking out over the houses and wetlands that form south Florida. Road trip over.
