Miami, a place like no other!

We left early for an all day tour of Miami; bus tour of Miami, boat tour of South Beach and Biscayne Bay and airboat tour of the Everglades. Miami is such a mixture of everything-from people, food, culture, and dynamics. I loved the Everglades and the airboat ride. I loved seeing all the rich and famous homes in South Beach; most of them empty right now. I loved hearing the stories of how a certain area came to be and why it is as it is. We had a great time but we were so tired after seeing so much and doing so much.

Miami means "sweet water"
