Even on a rainy day, we always do enjoy our stay at the Hyatt House in Miami, Florida.
This was on our walk around the hotel, after a rainy day.
It is close to 8:00 PM but feeling so fresh along the water.
The light looked almost magical...
These Muscovy ducks with ducklings were quite happy with all the rain, they live alongside the water.
There is lots of water, aside from the canal that runs behind the Hyatt House on Blue Lagoon Drive, Miami.
But there are other critters that are NOT that friendly!
Such a beautiful end of the day...
Quite refreshing after such a day with rain and more rain!
In our complete kitchen we had made a simple supper with beef tenderloin from Whole Foods Market, baked in butter with potatoes in the skin and some broccolette aka broccolini.
Next day we had a turkey burger with fresh salad...
Using our favorite Trader Joe's Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar...
Of course we also did visit with our dear friends in Miami!
Thanks for your visit and comment.

Hello Mariette, I often used to go to Miami for business or to visit family. There is so much to do and see there, from local attractions like Vizcaya (historic house) to short trips to Palm Beach or the Keys. Also lots of good food--eating in or out, you couldn't go wrong.

Dearest Jim,
DeleteYou are right, things to do and see in the Miami vicinity are endless!
We have been going there for over 30 years, also for a reason to visit friends.
It is tricky however for having nice weather, with the hurricane season affecting this area.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette!
ReplyDeleteYou may have a good time on your vacation-
Britt
Dearest Britt,
DeleteWe always have enjoyed our time down South in the Miami area!
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Looks like a beautiful area to stay. Love your sunset photo and the photo with the ducks made me smile :) Have a fabulous weekend.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sami,
DeleteIt is a very quiet and beautiful area with wildlife right there, not that I like to see any alligators...
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Hi Marietta! A beautiful place! Fun birds ;-) Scary, alligators and snakes!! Have a nice weekend
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYeah, it is beautiful nature but so far we've never had any problems with the alligators or snakes.
You probably don't have any of those reptiles in Finland...
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette.
ReplyDeleteToday in France, we are on automn....the day was sac but the sun is in our heart.
So funny your duck hi hi.
It must have been nice to walk by the water.
Have a good sunday and hugs to you two dearest Mariette đ
Dearest Nathalie,
DeleteWe have not yet had real autumn weather here in Georgia, still warm and sunny.
Yeah, our first encounter a couple of years ago with those funny looking Muscovy ducks was rather special.
Walking here is very nice.
Hugs,
Mariette

Dearest Carolyn,

Hello dear Mariette!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely place to visit! Beautiful scenery!
But the sign looks scary warning for the alligators and snakes!Wow!
Wonderful picture with the duck and the ducklings!
The food looks delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Wishing you a lovely day and a happy week! Hugs!
Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteYes, you are right the scenery is always very interesting and not a lot of traffic.
As long as you use common sense, the alligators and snakes would not bother you!
These ducks are special looking and we enjoy them.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
It looks such a beautiful place to stay! Having kitchen is always nice. Your dishes look very healthy and yummy :-) Orange Muscat Champagne vinegar sounds good. I gotta look for it!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteThe complete kitchen makes it more a home away from home feeling. You also can opt for 2 bedroom suites, with the kitchen and living room central.
Yeah, Trader Joe's got us hooked and we share it also with friends.
Hugs,
Mariette
Deearest MAriette,
ReplyDeletelovely pictures, thank you :O)
You always enjoy your days together, this is great! Your meals look really delicious and healthy :O)
Have a wonderful new week,
Love and hugs, Claudia xo
Dearest Claudia,
DeleteThis is such a lovely place and we feel so at home after about 3 decades.
Being able to cook your own, simple meal is a bonus.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Wow!! it is so beautiful..
ReplyDeleteI love your suggestion you told me in my blog. I need to find out something like that.. XOXO
Dearest Krishna,
DeleteYeah, those tips from friends, as we too got to know about it, are very valuable for making long flights with long lay-over times most enjoyable!
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful pictures. I have yet to visit Miami Florida. My husband's family live in Jupiter and Palm beach county. When we visit, it's there or Palatka where friends live. Your meals look wonderful and tasty. Love the looks of that water. Such pretty water shots.
ReplyDeleteOrange Muscat Champagne vinegar will be on my list of purchases.
Hugs, Betsy
Dearest Betsy,
DeleteWell, visiting family will most often absorb all of your time and quite often we don't get to do the things we would love to visit or see...
Simple meals as we don't have everything at hand there but it is nice for being able to cook or bake a meal and for staying in.
That special vinegar is really excellent!
Hugs,
Mariette
So pretty and I enjoyed seeing yout delicious meals..I too like a kitchen when we travel.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteFor whatever meal or in-between, a kitchen added to your room makes all the difference.
Even better for when traveling with more people as you can add more bedrooms to your suite. Great for kids as well and they also do offer laundry services, where you can use their washer and dryer.
Hugs,
Mariette
Beneidenswert, liebe Mariette. So schÜne Bilder! Bei uns ist es so kalt und ungemßtlich und grau! Ich hätte den Sommer viel lieber behalten!
ReplyDeleteLiege derzeit auch mit einem Infekt flach.
Alles Liebe auch fĂźr Dich und Deinen Mann!
Sara
Liebe Sara,
DeleteJa, herrlich wäre es um da jetzt sein zu kĂśnnen um uns zu erholen und von der Sonne zu genieĂen.
Pieter ist noch lange nicht fit, er hat immer noch viel Probleme mit seinem Bronchitis und er ist ganz schwach.
Hoffentlich geht alles bald wieder besser, auch mit Dir!
Auch wenn die Renovierung zu Ende sein wird hiflt!
Liebe GrĂźĂe,
Mariette
