Florida east coast drive

Today's trip:
Jacksonville -> Cocoa Beach -> West Palm Beach -> Miami Beach

Don't have much time for blogging, so summarize..

1. At Cape Canaveral, when eating lunch at a bar, heard from a girl named Patty that her sister's husband is going to Iraqi to drive tanks (he was driving trucks for post office). I asked her that isn't the man afraid of war? She said the salary is $90,000 (tax free) with two 21-day vacation per year, and a lot of ppl apply for the jobs, but she doesn't know what's the ratio of ppl can get in.

2. Cocoa Beach Pier is really cute, pic later.

3. The inequality of West Palm Beach is quite big, just like LA. View in the inland area is not pretty, however, if you get to Palm Beach (the little island), there is huge difference, just like USC vs. Beverly Hills. I went to the Flagler Museum, but it's closed on Monday.. lol. The wealthy Worthy Ave. is full of expensive shops, but I did enjoy the architecture and the view. pic later, really pretty.

4. Driving along A1A from Palm Beach to Miami Beach is really nice (slow though, expect lower than 35m/h). Well, basically, the view is composed of wealthy houses, big&green(not yellow!) palm trees, and water. Some house is along the beach, some is along the bay, anyway, this is the kind of house I really like... Highly recommend, especially the start part from Palm Beach.
