Miami: A Place of Transition

Today was spent in Miami.  The hotel conveniently placed me in the room that I was already booked for, so I didn't need to check out or anything.  I said goodbye to my Dad this morning and went back to sleep for a little while.  After I decided I could not stay asleep anymore, I decided to go out in search of sustenance.  The hotel dining room was packed full of huge hispanic families.  There was a long wait, so I decided to try my luck somewhere else.  I walked into the humid sunshine and palm tree studded sidewalks of Miami.  There were lots of hotels and places to go for lunch, but nothing with the breakfast food that I wanted.  I finally found a little place called "Latin Cafe 2000".  It claimed to be the taste of Cuba.  I was suspicious, but the sign said it served breakfast, so I gave it a try.  Like every other place I've been to in Miami, it was a very Latino place.

I enjoy the amount of Spanish culture and language in Miami, because it gives me a smaller taste of what I might be doing when I'm in Venezuela.  Everything here is half Latino it seems like.  It makes me excited for what's to come.  It's a good place for transition.  Half English, half Spanish; still in the USA, but far from home. Even the weather is weird.  Today it started raining while blatantly sunny.

I was going to post some pictures on my blog of my entire trip, but I realized that I packed the wrong USB cord to hook my camera up! I started to feel the first signs of distress, when lo and behold, I discovered that my netbook has an SD card reader slot thing! Joy! I can still share my pictures!  These are some of the view from my hotel room. Enjoy.
