Cuban food, South Beach, Coco Walk

Sounds a lot more tame than last weekend, eh? Yet, exploring Miami with Travis this weekend was a blast. He's off to the airport (alarm clock: 4:45am), but here's the rundown of what we did.
Needing a change of scenery after a rough day in school on Friday, we went to Little Havana for a monthly cultural festival, complete with food (yay maduros!), dancing on the sidewalk, browsing art galleries, and bumping into the folks I live with. Saturday found us at South Beach after taking the "scenic" route to get there. After about and hour on the beach, a fantastic Florida storm attacked, sending us retreating to a gelato shop. After a night beach stroll and dinner, we came home and cleaned up, and headed out to a bustling area of college nightlife in Coconut Grove. On Sunday, we explored the CocoWalk commercial district of Coconut Grove - very quaint with a lot of French restaurants! Fantastic food, including a crepe avec Nutella and some great sale shopping completed the afternoon. A night run around my trail here avec a GPS measuring thing tells me the distance I'm running (which I did not know previously).


Now, to prep for school...
