Failed Barnacle

There is an old homestead thing up the road from where Blaine lives called "The Barnacle". It is an old historic building (I think the last surviving original building in Coconut Grove) and there are  guided tours around the property with lots of info  about the area, both current and historic. It sounded interesting and cheap so yesterday on my run I went past to check out the opening times. I saw that it was closed Tuesdays and most public holidays and tours are every 1.5 hours from 10am. Unfortunately today when I walked along there at 11:30am I realised that I had failed to read the bit that said "group tours only: wednesday, thursday". So that was the failed Barnacle.

Since it was another nice day I went down to the marina again with the vague mission of getting some cash out. Down by the water I took a couple of arthouse pics:


Its like... Life.

I spent the afternoon being as lazy as possible. At one stage we left I managed to hunt down another hopped up beer by dogfish head called "90 minute hopped" which was pretty good. In the evening we went to the yacht club for dinner and I ate a very tasty Mahi (fish) open sandwich. Delicious.
