Miami

Set off 11.45 very quick to terminal 3. Got duty free wine for cruise. We can take a bottle each. Liz couldn't get memory card.  She was upset that the seating change she made last night to a 2 on upper deck was not there but in fact the man next to me was happy to move so we were OK. Watched Goodbye  Christopher Robin, History Boys and Murder on the Orient Express and listened to Guy Johnston. Sound good and food OK. 10 hour flight. Taken past long queue at passport control because I was limping! Supershuttle to Washington park hotel Miami south beach. Long wait for room so given vouchers for breakfast. Met couple on our cruise. Tired out. Room good 2 beds. Hot shower.
3/2 woke early. Rain so no swim or beach. To supermarket and got adaptor ,camera card and salads. Booked for concert eventually. Free trolley to Jewish museum ArtDeco synagogues excellent and special exhibition of Torah pointers. To Wolfsonian on trolley. Lovely design museum and Julius Klinger posters. Tea.
Luckily went wrong way on 11th so got the right trolley which took us right to the church of St Francis de Sales for 6 p.m. mass. Job spoken as work not prophet Spanish influence lights off in nave for consecration. Appeal with video for impressive diocesan projects notably 56 seminarians 3 million dollars was mentioned! Mr Diaz sang from back balcony using keyboard. It was a concert and he got a clap. 15 dollars for taxi to Arlene Arnt hall which is modern and huge as is the opera house. Sound very good. We paid £80 to sit at back of second tier but it was worth it. Cleveland orchestra, Franz Welzer Most conducting Beethoven Coriolanus, 8 and 5 very exciting leading to standing ovation. 20 dollars for taxi back.
