You Went to Miami and Didn’t Even See South Beach?!

 9008664098?profile=originalYep, that’s right: I didn’t go see the hottest spot in Miami.  I stayed just south of Miami, right next to the University of Miami’s campus with a friend in graduate school there and didn’t even venture to one of the most talked about spots in all of Florida.  I guess this little blip shows that every city has two sides …at least.

                You may be familiar with associating yourself with a city that you may live near or outside of; I admit to doing this as my address reads Richmond, Vir

My website

One of my favorite ways to travel while home in the States is to do some half-way planning, hop in the car, and hope for the best.  This is how my friend, Andy, and I took two and a half weeks of our summer in 2009.  We crammed two surfboards and what we thought would be enough clothing for two or so weeks in my Jeep.

That catches many visitors
