I was only in Ft. Lauderdale for about 24 hours, but it was enough time for me to fall in love with it. It's amazing that it's so close to Sarasota, but so completely different. I mean the palm trees in lauderdale have coconuts on them! Coconuts!! We certainly don't grow coconuts on every palm tree in Sarasota.
There was also a much more fun scene for younger people. I stopped in a local liquor store where this guy layed down the law:
Can't argue with him!
Besides the presence of liquor stores and bars, there was also an abundance of people walking down the sidewalk which was such a sight for sore eyes. Whenever I walk anywhere in Sarasota it's like people assume my car must have broken down or something (actually my check engine light came on yesterday. shoot me). But lauderdale was so different, I think mostly because we were in a touristy area where most of the people were carless. It reminded me of NY, and actually I met a bunch of guys from NY that were staying at the same hotel as us.
I'm sad that I couldn't stay longer, but I am excited to make another trip down there soon. I mean, even the starbucks in lauderdale sells saucier things than any other starbucks I've ever been to:
Take that ariel and your seashell bra, starbucks is kicking it up a notch.
But I'm home now, back in the arms of that handsome little kitty, who has yelled at me nonstop since I got back. Apparently I didn't have his permission to leave. But the hotel we stayed at was pet friendly, and even had a little black cat that lived there, so I think I'll just take him with me the next time I go down.
Soon please!
