Art Deco
I love the art deco architecture in Miami! I had to laugh at your comment about Denny's (they are very common here and honestly, not considered that great, but glad you liked it!). What a wonderful trip you had to Florida!

Did you get palace fatigue?
I guess you were in Germany too short a time to develop palace fatigue. When we were there last summer we spent about three weeks there. We then decided to skip visiting most palaces in order not to get tired of them. It easily happens in a country that has so many of them as Germany does. /Ake

Back to Germany
Dave here.....your blogs make us want to go back to Germany. Have not been there since 2012 and there is much more to see! Cheers!

Perfect photo.
Traveling fills the soul.

Glad to meet you
Thank you for your sharing

Cologne
This blog makes me want to book a flight to Germany. We were discussing yesterday that we'd like to go back to Germany as we have not seen enough of it. I want to stay in this place. It looks perfect! I think this mid summer break trip will catch on! You are so good with languages. Our friend Brendan is pretty good also. I admit as hard as I try I struggle a great deal. I'm tone deaf and I think that compounds my ability to hear the different tones. Keep exploring.

Key Largo
When I hear "Key Largo" I always think of that Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall movie of the same name (it wasn't filmed there though). The turtle hospital sounded great, and those key deer are so cute! Glad to hear they are working at preserving them.

Bienvenida a Miami
For most people Miami is a city they really like or really dislike - there is not much in between. There is a large number of Spanish speaking people in the area so it is a great place to practice language skills. The irritates some Americans especially when they are in the airport and can't find someone who speaks English. We didn't ask where you were staying in the Miami area- yes you picked a nice location. We have not seen robot waiters .... I guess we need to go to Miami! I love your descriptions of this vibrant city. If you thought it was hot in April I'm glad you didn't visit in August. Personally, I think we need to move past the Cuba issues of the past and build relationships. I loved reading this blog and getting caught up on the rest of your trip. We enjoyed meeting you and look forward to you coming back to Florida. You will enjoy California next year. Happy travels.

Art Deco buildings
I love Art Deco architecture so I am sure I would like Miami. The building in the picture is simply awesome. I love all three of the "Arts" by the way: Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Art Garfunkel. /Ake
