North and central America

South beach! After traveling through cold Bolivia I wanted to get some sun, beach and see my friend Randy. We were going to go on a road trip through the south of the states.

Unfortunately due to some miscalculations he has to do some work applications and exams so he won't be able to join me, I'll have to replan my trip. Taking a couple of days on the heath to do that.

No sun either as such since tropical storm Gustav is coming but it's hot anyway and I like tropical showers anyway.

First night we go to little Havana, calle ocho, an area I've not yet seen in Miami, it's a wonderfully true Cuban area of Miami, totally feels like Havana at points and of course there's loads of Spanish speaking people here, another chance to practice my Spanish which is now getting better each day

There's a quick one off show for a new night, mix between Cuba and moulin rouge, meet some of Randy's friends and enjoy the area.

Before the evening starts we go to Wynwood a lovely trendy gentrified area that I feel in love with on my last visit, we get taco here and I get to try cactus as a dish in the taco (over ordered my taco amount but managed to woof it down nonetheless). I get frijoles too with bacon and beer, haven't had it for such a long time!!

By 10 pm I'm completely crashing, need sleep before weekend of planning new destinations and friends to meet.Read more
