Heading South to where the alligators roam... And get eaten

Today began bright (except not) and early (very) as we had a 6 AM flight. Mia discovered the awesomeness of the Delta app (it will alert ou when they been boarding!) and that the TSA Precheck line for security only opens at 5 (so don't bother being early). We flew to Minneapolis St Pauls airport and explored its massive shopping malls until our flight. They have iPads and charging sockets everywhere:

We onl had an hour layover, then we were on our way to Miamai. We arrived 3 short hours later after a very pleasant flight, though Mia only discovered the free on board entertainment a half hour before landing. Myra had been paying attention to the announcments and knew all about it, but she had enough books to keep her busy, so she just didn't care. 

After arriving, we ventured on our very first Uber ride! It was awesome. He showed up within a couple of minutes of our request through the app, his car was clean, comfortable, and it smelled really nice.  For a 20 minute drive it would have been about $14, but we each had a free ride for signing up. We could have shared a ride with someone else for only $6! Mia now wants to ride Uber everywhere. After our adventure finding dinner, Myra is inclined to agree (it was a hot and humid walk though a sketchy part of town...). Speaking of dinner, we managed to find a place that served alligator and happily ate an appetizers worth of the stuff (doesn't taste anything like chicken, has the consistansy of a somewhat tough cut of beef):

The place we went to was in a place called Coconut Grove, which had lots of cool buildings and cute restaurants. 

We choose a slightly safer route back to our hotel after dinner, then walked to Bayside and explored before returning to our hotel for swimming and sleep. Tomorrow we have lots of fun things planned!
