The drumming could be heard as far as the toll booth entrance, a faint rhythmic call to the dance pavilion of the historic Virginia Key Beach Park.
Family History Day on Sunday, Feb. 21, drew lots of people to the beach park on a windy winter afternoon. This day it was not so much about the beach-- though it sparkled blue in the surrounding distance - but about the drumming, and the barbecuing, and the smiles on the children riding the seaside carousel and the whisking away into the wilds on a mini-train that emerged from the mini-tunnel to reveal the dense tropical foliage of a hidden hammock and the panorama of a broad, white dune glistening in the sun.
The historic Virginia Key Beach Park is located on Virginia Key, a 1,000-acre barrier island in Miami. For more information on its unique history and future as a civil rights park and museum, go to: http://www.virginiakeybeachpark.net/
