Good day. We got moved over to Cooley's Landing. What a neat place! We have all the facilities, we're close to downtown, and we get to watch all the boats going up and down the river.
I tried to phone boatyards in Miami, but didn't get an answer. Phoned the Post Office and found out both Roy and I have mail. The Post Office closes at two on Saturday, so we made a mad dash for the bus and got to the Post Office at 1:35. Returned to the boat, ate lunch, and read our mail. Too much of it was mail I had sent that was being returned, including a lot of important stuff, such as our boat registration. So now I'm back to square one.
Walked into town to get some groceries at the Winn-Dixie that I thought was on SW 2nd Street. The street names in this town are confusing. Most of them are numbered. The city is divided into four directional sections: southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest. The avenues are perpendicular to the streets, so there are a lot of very similar names. For instance, there's SW 20th Street amd SW 20th Avenue. I figured out this morning that Broward is the dividing line between north and south, and Andrews is the dividing line between east and west, but I need to carry a compass around to figure out where north is. I wandered all over town and ended up at NE 2nd Street and NE 3rd Avenue instead of SW 2nd Street and SW 2nd Avenue. When I finally got turned around and found my intended destination, guess what -- Winn-Dixie is now a parking lot. So I stopped by Uncle Colonel's and bought Kentucky Fried for supper.
