TEN DAYS VACATION IN FLORIDA AND CUBA (Third Day) I ..Our third and fourth days of lioli; day tripping were spent at Miami and Miami Beach. The weather was warm: the girls were fair and threatening: the bathing suits were thin and dry: but the sun-tan was thick and normal at all exposed places, and plenty was exposed. ..Very few people were in the surf, only ugly and gawky cared to go near the water. I discovered one thing about wealth though: there was and is lots of it floating around Miami Beach: riches seem to have lit upon fat folks. In fact, fatness thereof was everywhere that wealth was pointed ! out. There were some exceptions of course: take me, for instance. ..After galloping around Miami and environs, you will quickly decide that this comipunity is bounded on the east by bathing beauties and the beach: on the south and west, and uorth by horse race tracks and dog race tracks and dog race tracks and horse race tracks and some more race tracks. ..We went to everything that cost anything. We spent 2 or 3 hours one night watching the dog races. A friend of mine down there has a son connected with the racing business. In fact, he is chamber-maid to 4 dogs that belong to a wealthy dog gambler. He looked real nice leading his dogs to the starting points. He wore a white cap, red coat, white britches and British boots. His dogs wore only a number blanket. /.The next day found us at one of the horse-race tracks. Nearly everybody else was there that had as much as 2 dollars. The betting that afternoon was rather light, so a native said. Only about $567,000,000 changed hands on this occasion. The wind was from the east: very little betting is done unless the wind is right. I started to bet on No. 6 once, but as soon as I got my pocketbook out, he laid down. I desisted. ..For a nice, pleasant, comfortably warm vacation, the southern half of Florida seems to be almost ideal. Nobody seems to care anything about anything or anybody. Everybody seems to be in a hurry, but are going no place in particular. All kinds of shows and entertainment-places are well attended. If anything has been left off from gambling to out-board motoring, we never located it. TEN DAY8 VACATION IN FLORIDA AND CUBA (Fourth Day) . .Taking vacations is the hardest work man ever experienced. We have been on this trip exactly 3 days and 3 nights, and I am so tired and wornout and fever-blistered, I feel the urgent need of a rolling chair and a pair of crutcheB and a pair of soft shoes and a cowropractor and a feather bed. ..We have already ridden 775 miles. Those miles were travelled so fast, our speedometer is showing the strain under which it is trying to function. Several times on the road, I have noticed it wiping the sweat off its face with its only hand. We al-1 ways slow down though when we see or hear anybody coming or going on a motorcycle. We thought once that we were ketched, but it turned out to be a tourist touring at 75 m. p. h., also. ..After considerable eye-strain on the beach, caused from bright sunshine, skimpy bathing suits, white sand, beautiful Aggers, and miscellaneous monkey-doings, we noticed that it was about time to catch our j boat for Havana. We bought our tickets at the regular fare, but on; account of Miami having to furnish j the water for the steamer to swim j in, she exacted a dollar-per-head tax ] and humorously called it a "wharf tax." ..The old lady got kinder sea-sick when she walked up the gangplank. Others appeared to be screwy under j the gills before we got out of the harbor. After we had reached the 12-mile limit, the old boat was heaving mightily; the wind was only the terminating end of a pretty hard blow; only one person in my party felt like eating and retaining dinner. I never get seasick; I have to pay for my meals and I'm going to eat them. Some folks call that stinginess on my part, but I call it good business. ..Our stateroom was nice and com-] fortable for hale and hearty Individ- j uals, but it was entirely too small for 2 people to stay seasick in. We kept the electric fan a-going; cool air was absolutely essential to life, so she; said. Everybody seemed out of humor. I tried to explain that I wasn't rocking the boat, but they blamed me for going to Cuba Via the ocean, and so forth. ..The trip Anally came to an end, and I saw a few smiles on certain faces for the Arst time in ages. We got our bags into the customhouse at 20 cents a piece. The inspectors had us open up everything, and they rooted around in our belongings for a few minutes, scattering "light underwear, face powder, razors, tooth brushes, 1 pair box, 1 clean shirt, etc., all over the neighborhood; then he rubber-stamped each package and told us to git. We got. After a few i efforts at jabbering, we got a taxi and hired to a hotel where they could fio nothing but Jabber themselves. Har ana looked good and clean, with plenty of sunshine and good looking feminine genders. ^ i - - - * a. W V. + "4* < r~r ?
