Also suffering from the financial crisis, condominiums are now more reasonable for purchase.

Miami is a walkable city.

The McArthur Causeway connects Miami Beach with Miami. Many famous car-chases have been filmed along this stretch of road.

With Miami sky-scrapers in the background, cruise-ships wait for many thousands of eager passengers every year.

On any day, many of these beautiful, floating hotels prepare for their journey.

These floating hotels can hold more than two thousand passengers, and the staff can double that number.

Cruises are availble for a day or for several weeks.

The best views of Miami are available for sale.

And the views, under the blue Miami skies, are spectacular.

Dumplings
Hi again Hans Seeing you make those dumplings brings back memories of a dumpling party I went to in Chengdu at the hostel I stayed at. You look as skilled as I was in making Zongzi at my friend's home in Kaili (Guizhou) this past visit last June! Enjoy your visit home and be safe! Hugs Sue

Great Pictures!
Hello Hans, I enjoyed seeing the pictures of your home in FL, especially the garden. It's a big difference from your condo in Boston! I like all the collectibles from Germany as well. How much longer will you be in China?? Julie
