We had a day at the beach that is like a larger version of The Gold Coast. Lots of sun bakers and shops selling costumes, margaritas and tacky tee shirts.
We sail on today with a few more sea days before we visit a series of Caribbean islands

Fort Lauderdale
Over 90% of the passengers left the ship today as we reach the half way point. It is the second busiest port in the world and we were alongside ships that took 10 times the number of passengers on our Seabourn Quest.

Gail at the beach. No her shirt is not tacky!
Florida is the retirement capital of America if not the world. It is interesting that the beaches remained segregated until so recently
On the other side of the narrow strip of land were the canals. This is Robert at the fishing boat

Fascinating that the sign of being marginalised, other, and segregated was a beach lacking tables, fresh water, shelter, and toilets (long walk for any of those at Conjola!). And I can't believe you went all the way to Florida and didn't visit the Mouse House!
Can't imagine how difficult the segregation must have been. Not just beaches but busses and schools, and the list goes on.
Ask Matt Amanda, he remembers it!
