Miami

---

Sadly we didn't have very long to spend in Miami which is a shame because it is a cool place. We stayed in a hotel right by the beach which was lovely but unfortunately, being their winter time, it wasn't hot enough to sunbathe.

We took advantage of the great shops and nice restaurants. It was good to be able to fully understand the menus and to have 'normal' food again. We had forgotten that salad and veggies existed. The only downside was the price, much more expensive than Latin America.

As the Americans aren't into football (or should I say 'soccer'?) we decided to catch a basketball game instead. We went to see Miami Heat beat Atlanta with Shaquille O'Neal easing them to victory. It was a great experience as the Americans are very over the top, with continual music, dancing and comical commentary and of course, cheerleaders.
