Florida Highlights

While Bryan goes off to work each day, Dave and I craft adventures here in Miami. Dave and I, house guests of a WCS family, headed to Homestead yesterday to discover the faming areas of south Florida. Our first stop took us to the Knaus Berry Farm's bakery, famous for its sticky buns. Needless to say, several folks from here placed orders for us to pick up! Dave then decided that we should share a milk shake from Robert Is Here to complete our breakfast. Robert, who began selling cucumbers in 1960, now sells fruits and vegetables along with an array of fresh-made milkshakes! Dave chose a key lime milk shake to complete the decadent breakfast!
Following the Redland Trail through the agricultural area, Dave stopped next at RF Orchids. The hostess greeted us with a cup of guava juice that we sipped as we walked through the artistic displays of orchids and bronze garden statues that far eclipsed our pocketbook! The color, delicacy, intricacy and even fragrance of orchids boggle my mind. Given the wonders of just one kind of flower reminds me of God's plethora of designs. No Creator? Impossible to comprehend!

We finished our day at Florida International University's soccer field where we saw the Westminster Christian guys play in the regional quarter final game and defeat Florida Christian 5-0. Do I miss the snow? What snow?
