After years of lay-overs and connections at MIA, I finally escaped the airport and got to explore the city of Miami.<\/p>\n
Here are the highlights from my quick trip at the end of October.\u00a0 I’ll be going again for two weeks and should get to see a lot more.<\/p>\n
Miami Beach<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n I have heard people talk about this all the time, but really didn’t know what to expect or where it was geographically.\u00a0 We made three trips to Miami Beach and took a different path each time thanks to different GPS apps.\u00a0 The first trip was to the most touristy area and I got to see all the hotels and art deco buildings one usually associates with Miami Beach.\u00a0 I really wanted to know more about the history of the buildings, but had to be content with just briskly walking past.\u00a0 The other visits were for food and are outlined below.<\/p>\n Joes’s Stone Crabs This place was recommended to my by my allergist and apparently is quite famous.\u00a0 We lucked up because they had just recently reopened for the season and we were able to get there pretty early (before 7) which means we didn’t have to wait.\u00a0 All I can say is…go here!\u00a0 If you like seafood (especially crab) then it’s a must visit destination.\u00a0 I’m a vegetarian and still had a great meal.\u00a0 I highly recommend the Grilled Tomatoes and Key Lime pie.<\/p>\n
