Trip in Florida Part 2: Miami


Downtown Miami
Have you guys ever watched "Burn Notice", an American TV series about a spy got burnt and trying to find out who is the bad guy in Miami? I was just so eager to visit Miami since the all the movie scenes of Miami attracted me and not all downtowns could stand next to the beach in the U.S. We stopped at Midtown to see the Art District full of graffitis on the walls, cars and fire hydrants..which was really interesting. There weren't like New York or Austin; there were more like the combination of those two cities filled with teenaged spirits and creativity.



Next day we headed to the Little Havana and had a great lunch at Versailles restaurant, a popular place in Miami serving authentic Cuban food. I guess I had the best Lamb Shank and Key Lime Pie ever.

Little Havana is a neighborhood of Miami where Cuban immigrant residents live. The districts are clean and organized. A tree with red flowers on is everywhere around the corner of the street. As Florida became the Spanish colony, most people here speak Spanish. I had no ideas what they were talking when I ordered my meal to the Spanish-speaking waiter...

In the afternoon, a big thunder storm attacked the downtown and people was leaving from the Miami Beach, which was good for us because we could enjoy the peaceful beach where normally are full of travelers.

We drove around on the South Beach, a "gay friendly" island at the east of Miami Beach. The nightlife there looked so entertaining and crazy especially at the time of World Cup..
