Miami

We arrived late Thursday night at south beach, Miami. It was so nice that the climate is warm cause I'm getting tired of the snow and winter. Maybe it wasn't the best Miami weather when we landed because of the storms but became better and better. It wasn't too difficult to find the hostel but we were pretty tired so we fell asleep a soon as we got home.
The next day we contacted Elin who was in Miami with her family. We took the subway back to the main land an met with Elin at the 18th street cafe. There she was and we were all happy that we actually met here in Miami. We sat down at the cafe and ate a sandwich and a soup. We hadn't eaten anything since we landed so we were starved.
Elin had the brilliant idea that we should go and see some dolphins at the Dolphin Harbor. It was located at Virginia Key Park, witch is a little island connected to the mainland only by bridges.
Miami is full of tourists everywhere. Everyone with funny hats, ice creams and silly sunglasses. But then I'm also a tourist so I shouldn't complain. But this dolphin place was really jammed with people in funny shirts so it was almost to much. But when we at last saw the dolphins our mood changed dramatically. They tend to spread a good vibe around them. I even petted one on the nose!



Later that day we decided to go to the Miami Science Museum to see the ongoing exhibition about latino music. It was really interesting and had a lot of both historical aspects on the latino music and also scientific. I found the exhibition very meaningful because I work a lot with music and rhythms myself.



The next day we took a breakfast at "the French Bakery" and then went down to the beach. We laid in the sand for hours just listening to all the people swarming on the beach. After a short swim in the Atlantic Ocean we left the South Beach Island and headed downtown too look in some stores. We found the Miami Arts and Design District and it was entirely made of all imaginable types of futuristic buildings containing everything from exhibitions to design furniture shops. There were many new impressions witch was a bit tiring.

Later on we decided to go to a typical Miami club. We'd heard about a place called "the Opium Garden" and we were told that it was one of the biggest clubs in Miami so we decided to go there. We arrived to the place at about 2.00 am and the line was huge. I think we stood there for one and a half hour. We met lots of good people even before we got inside. Well inside everything was crazy and lots of people everywhere. It was decorated with statues of Buddha and Chinese lanterns.



We all had a lot of fun and made many new friends and the DJ's were the really twisted music witch really got you dancing.
