Yesterday, I had a brilliant idea to go to Miami Beach (40 miles away) to see this amazing art installation on the beach. The traffic was so ridiculous, that I gave up. Took me nearly two hours to get close to the area (a few blocks away). It seems they wanted people to take a shuttle from some unknown location since there was no parking available. Cities are so crowded. I used to live in Miami! My son lives in downtown Tampa. They are not foreign to me. It was just too much chaos for me.
@ludwigsdiana because I fled to North Bay Village, which is still a quaint area of Miami Beach that they will be overbuilding soon. But, it's a spot that I love where you can actually find parking and not be hemmed in with cars. I literally felt trapped in my car yesterday! I have never seen it that bad, even in season.
