Homeward Bound

State Road 836, locally known as the Dolphin Expressway (to commemorate two consecutive national championships of the Miami Dolphins football team,) is a 16-mile-long six-lane divided tollway. Curiously, toll is collected only in the East bound direction. This is West bound, at the end of a workday. The traffic jam is always bad at the Miami International airport to the right where you see the control tower. Of course, all takeoffs and landings are in the West-East runways at this time so pilots do not have the sun in their eyes. That makes sense.
