Miami, another day.. =), Florida Miami, library, beach, another awesome night... September 13th I wanted to go see Fort Lauderdale, they say there are lots of cool yachts there and the area is generally wealthy. I missed the 12:45 PM bus, went back to the beach and my mood is great again. I found an entrance to the local pier, as far as I understood from the signs, there are yachts worth half a billion bucks there 0_o Why are the prices so crazy for a piece of plastic?? There's a ton of fish under the docks, some kind of perch and such huge colorful fish =) Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the coral reef this time, it was windy in Key West, probably echoes of the hurricane, sand kicked up, waves, and the catamarans aren't offering their $30-40 snorkeling/sunset tours while the weather is bad... It turns out I went south just as a teaser - I will definitely come back, it would be great to bring my family - they deserve it at least as much as the pot-bellied families vacationing in Miami... Speaking of vacationers - there are some very cute girls on the beaches =) but what does that have to do with me, a messy hobo with a backpack. I had an idea to take a photo of each one and write down their contact in a notebook, but I imagined myself in the place of a beautiful girl during such a census and gave up on the idea =) I'm not sure if I'm perceived normally and not as a hobo, and generally speaking, I'm not sure if I'm perceived at all - I'm without any of the usual beads and pendants here, disheveled, in simple clothes, tanned in patches (most strongly between the straps of my sandals or whatever they're called=)). There are a lot of men here who look like they're from the cover of Men's Health, and the women, obviously, are spoiled for choice... I'm saying goodbye to the warm sea, to the sunset sky. I will return. I'm getting on the 9 o'clock bus to Washington. Then there was a funny moment - I forgot my jacket in the restroom at the station while I was washing up. It's a good jacket, so I decided to get it back. I got off at the next station, called, and asked the next bus to bring it - at 10:20 the jacket arrived =) At midnight I finally got on my route. Not many people, my four seats, this is happiness. Warm, good, cozy, time to think. I have 1 day and 6 hours to go... http://blogs.iec.ru/journal/view/singleimage.php?postcard=yes&imageurl=/photos/moshkam/photos/IMG_2740.jpg&user_id=moshkam

Waterways shape daily circulation and marine commerce in this Atlantic coastal hub.
Extensive canal networks and proximity to open ocean waters anchor the local economy to recreational boating, yacht manufacturing, and maritime repair. Downtown development along Las Olas Boulevard features high-rise residential towers alongside performing arts halls and corporate offices. Commercial cruise ships operate continuously through Port Everglades, which also handles regional fuel distribution.

Waterways interrupt the eastern street pattern, requiring drivers and cyclists to detour toward specific bridge crossings rather than proceeding straight toward the ocean. Highway traffic bypasses the pedestrian promenade by passing through an underground roadway tunnel beneath Las Olas Boulevard. Commuter rail corridors run inland along the regional transit spine, while residents depend primarily on private automobiles for daily travel.
Strict municipal ordinances curtailed the historic student holiday crowds, reshaping the urban atmosphere into an ongoing coastal market for affluent travelers and seasonal winter residents. Commercial dining and nightlife congregate heavily in eastern districts near the shoreline, whereas western neighborhoods experience different security conditions that require greater caution after dark.

Extensive canal networks divide the land between the city center and the Atlantic shoreline, requiring drivers and pedestrians to cross at designated bridges. Road maps are essential to avoid detours along dead-end waterways. Additionally, the main highway bypasses Las Olas Boulevard entirely through an underground river tunnel rather than a surface intersection.
