Blogs from Miami Beach, Florida, United States, North America - page 3

Bonjour à tous Ce soir pour faire ce blog je ne sais comment je vais m'y prendre. Le mot du jour c'est "DOLLAR". Comme convenu vous verrez quelques photos de l'hôtel, mais malheureusement elle ne rendent pas l'atmosphère, j'ai fait au mieux. Hier au soir je suis sorti pour manger, et comme d' habitude en short et "savate", j'ai très vite compris qu' ici, tu es le sportif joggeur, ou patineur tu es torse nu pour le hommes et soutien gorge pour les femmes. Ou alors sapé comme un milord et tu arrive au resto avec ta Bentley décapotable, en Lamborghini. Je me suis régalé chez un italien, d'un bon plat de lasagnes, en terrasse sur Océan Drive. J'ai passé 2 h à regarder le spectacle. C'est un défilé permanent de "m'as tu vu", un défilé ... read more

The beach is wide and long, ... read more

"...a bit of the old ultra-violence" Do you know what heat and crazy amounts of humidity does to a person? Do you know what it does to people from Colorado who are used to the dryness? It's exhausting!!!! We slept in late today, got up at 11. So far the food/drinks have been pretty weird so we walked about 6 blocks to get Starbucks, something we knew would taste the way it was supposed to. It didn't. Another 5 blocks is an outdoor mall area, we bought some flip flops and then went back to Española Way for a light lunch at a mexican restaurant Nachos and lemonade. Sometimes when you're traveling you need to stop and rest and eat instead of pushing yourself too hard. Little breaks can save your life, so can air conditioning. ... read more
