Once a year, for three days, thousands (it seems like millions) of people gather to attend the Coconut Grove event. Artists from all over the country show their stuff and sell paintings and other works of art for outlandish prices. Some of it is very well done but I can't bring myself to pay $7,500 for an acrylic by Raul Garcia (who?)The show occupies the waterfront and Bayshore Drive in the Grove and is about 1000 times larger than the one in Nantucket at the Athenaeum. It is about 100 times larger than the average Sarasota show. By the way, Coconut Grove is located East of Coral Gables and South of the city of Miami in Florida. We have a "place" there so we can visit often. My son and daughter-in-law and grand-dog live nearby, and I have three sisters-in-law and their families there too. And of course, as Jimmy Buffett sings "Everybody has a Cousin in Miami."
