Miami...day to night...old hood, tourists, cruis ships, skyline & more (80+ pics)
Well...another day spent as a tourist in my hometown. I hadn't posted pics here in a while. Today we headed to Little Havana. Then off to South Beach.
Finally headed towards the Brickell district of downtown Miami for dinner. In between are old buildings, tourists, old guys playing dominoes, cruise ships, the skyline...etc.
Hope you enjoy these...
First off...late breakfast at Versailles...pastelitos, empanadas, croquetas & of course, Cuban coffee
This is where the old Cuban men meet to discuss the future of Cuba after Castro dies.
Next off I stopped at the Interamerican Center at the entrance to Little Havana on SW 27th Avenue & 8th Street. Drove up to the top of the parking lot to take these.
