We visited a little Cuban eatery in Miami called Palacio de los Jugos. Then we drove through Coral Gables a bit more up-scale with "Mediterranean" style housing. Then we drove to Miami Beach in a downpour. I was floored by the opulent high rise hotels next to the beach. I have never seen so much wealth concentrated in one space, not even on Waikiki in Hawaii. It was much more highrise than Hawaii and cram packed in together. BJ was a little freaked out by the combination of being in a highrise canyon crowded with people and the flooding driving through about four inches of rain on the road. So we left and went to Ft. Lauderdale. There we walked on the beach at a state park that kept the highrise hotels at a distance, see the beach picture. It was much more calm and relaxing. Finally we drove to a KOA near the Lion Country Safari.

I think I'm with BJ. Too tall buildings freak me out a little anyways, but add to that a downpour? Brrrrr.
