The New River runs from the ICW to I95, through Fort Lauderdale. At the head of the river, at I95, are some very large boat yards that handle mega yachts. The river runs thru downtown FTL and the city has developed a beautiful area called Riverwalk, which is exactly what it sounds like. A mile or so area along the river with riverviews, eateries, shops , etc. Condos in this area sell for more millions than you can imagine.
Some pictures: The first one has nothing to do with Riverwalk. The shadow I hope you see is a manatee and her baby swimming thru the canals. We had one spend the afternoon feeding off the algue on the bottom of our boat.
Every first Sunday the Riverwalk hosts a jazz festival. Many people, picnics, music, etc.

Now you are taunting me with Manatee photos? Really, that isn't nice. Where is all this marine life when I am around? I spent an entire weekend in the springs in Florida diving in an area known for Manatee sightings and didn't see even ONE. Clearly, if you ever decide to do any serious ocean crossing, you need to take me with you since I would be effective at keeping the whales away (which I know is a concern for mom).
Nice pictures though...
