2.- Fort Lauderdale, Beach sunrise with the
famous wall
I started the Millennium with my wife and
brother looking at a similar horizon without clouds
on the horizon. Before 8 a.m. the beach usually has
one person on it. I'm willing to share this view
with you!
Let's talk about the wall. It is famous for
rollerbladers, who use the edge of the wall for
their balancing acts. People bicycle, rollerblade,
cruise and jog along this beach wall. A fiber optic
cable runs along the edge of the wall and projects
a colored light to give the edge of the wall a new
color every five to seven seconds. The wall
stretches from Sunrise Blvd. south to the Yankee
Clipper Hotel (about 3 miles or 5 km). Please don't
destroy the wall's edge when you jump on it! (The
City of Fort Lauderdale spends $100,000 each year
to repair and paint the wall.) If you bring your
skates to travel on this ocean drive (called A-1-A
because it is the Alternative to route 1, which
runs from New England down to Key West).
