Marc- Today was our day to get our second Covid-19 vaccines. It was a challenge to get this scheduled and an even greater challenge to get there and back. Our attempts to book an Uber or Lyft failed as did the taxi. Rental car costs are through the roof due to Passover/Easter/school vacation. Even if we were able to book a ride the cost would have been extreme as the Pharmacy where we were getting our vaccines was 30 miles away. Michael came up with the idea of taking local public transportation. Our resident friend George said that the trains and buses are fine and safe. They are also free during Covid and they're not crowded. You go online and plan each destination and a complete route is created for you. This was great since we needed to take a bus to a train to an articulated bus to another small bus and then walk a bit. Fortunately we arrived early after 3 hours of travel with enough time for lunch. Our return was fine. We took the train an extra stop to get to a post office in old Downtown Miami. This older section of town is past its prime with many closed storefronts and a bit run down We returned via the newer section of town, Brickell, which is modern and thriving. We caught the bus back to Key Biscayne. To celebrate we went to the village and found a frozen yogurt shop. We walked back through the village and saw some of Crandon Beach before taking the bus back to the marina. We walked 6 miles today. Wind is now blowing 25 knots from the Northeast with gusts now to 35 knots. Lucy III is rocking and rolling a bit even in this secure spot.
