Welcome to Miami! Bienvenidos a Miami!
Every time I think about Miami, I think about that Will Smith song Miami. I think it's because the first time I went to Miami was when I was a freshman in high school and that song was all over the radio and it just so happened that our high school football team had made the playoffs and was going to Miami! to play a game. I rode the pep bus down. We lost something like 52 to 0.
I didn't hear that song when I was in Miami this weekend. I did hear Whoomp! There It Is!, though! OLD SCHOOL!
But anyway. Miami!
Mostly I: ate good food with my bro and mom (fresh fish one night at Garcia's, Cuban fried pork and cassava (!) at Las Culebrinas the next), shopped and shopped and shopped some more (didn't buy too much), spent an evening catching up with my old friend and back-in-the-day co-valedictorian Nirali (currently in med school), and re-learned how to be an aggressive driver, only getting beeped at once (!).

Dinner @ my bro's favorite hangout, "the fish place."
Views from ze hotel - nighttime, sunset, and sunset-light in the hotel room mirror.
Megaclouds over the 'Glades.
BEST! place to stop for Cuban coffee in Clewiston.
