Another sunny, hot and dry Sunday in South Miami. Along major streets, banner ads are hung on street lighting posts to advertise upcoming events. Alongside the magnificent royal palms on the left (not intended to be showcased in this photo) are modern highway lighting posts on which ads are displayed. The upcoming yearly event is the annual "Easter Egg Hunt" when children go to various parks to hunt for the Easter eggs. This year's main event will take place April 6 - 8 at the "Parrot Jungle Island." I am not sure why they have the monkey sitting inside the half egg as this event clearly is not going to happen at the Miami's "Monkey Jungle." At the Parrot Jungle, the animal in focus is the parrot, not even a distant relative of the cute monkey in the banner.

The narrow highway lane you see is the "Bus Way" which is exclusively reserved for metro bus traffic to help minimizing the pain of chronic congestion on the US-1 seen on the other side. The new and still unfinished building seen is the same as the one blogged on March 02. As you can judge looking at the brownish grass, we can use some rain.
