We have been here in Miami for almost a week now. It is quite an interesting place. Tall buildings, lush, green foliage everywhere, lots of people, lots of languages, green-blue water, white sand and public transportation. English is by no means the primary language here. This is the first time that I have felt inadequate in my own country by the words not found in my cranial dictionary. Spanish is a MUST. Portugese, Italian & Russian are a few of the others that might come in handy for a night out on the town. At least in Miami Beach. Walking down the street in South Beach is a feast for the eyes! Shops and restaurants line the avenues and really compete for your business with Hostesses luring you inside.
This is a GREAT place to visit. Lots to see. We will be here for a few more days waiting on weather to change in our favor. Thursday & Friday brought a tropical like low dumping bucket loads of rain and whipping winds out of the South. Yesterday and today we have been drying out with high North Westerly winds. Needless to say the wind generator is keeping us topped off with juice.
Right now we are in a Dunkin' Doughnuts with lightning fast internet and have uploaded some video to our SmugMug page. Check out
