I arrived in Miami safe and sound! Many fellow TVs were there to receive me. My host immediately showed me around her cool room! I look forward to visiting the beach again and seeing all the art in Miami

Krome Ave, Miami, FL, USA - 22nd October 2012
By: winksnana
This Sunday we went to Krome Ave, the last paved road before the Everglades. It is a farmland area just 5 minutes away from my host's suburban comforts. It has a great view, which make a great drive on sunny days. It also has a great small organic shop where my host likes to try new fruits. We also visited a nearby goat farm which was pretty smelly. My host's grandaunt posed with me.

Miami Beach, Florida, USA - 28th October 2012
By: winksnana
This weekend we went to Miami Beach: the center of the world as far as Miami is concerned. I enjoyed people watching and basking in the sun. I even had a little chat with the lifeguard about swimming but I didn't dare go into the water because the waves were still mighty strong from Sandy. I loved the palm trees and the constant sun! We walked along the front of South Beach to see the iconic Art Deco hotels like The Cavalier and The Carlyle. I did get thirsty from so much walking in the heat so I had my pick of exotic fruits (but there were no pineapples). On our way back we spotted a black Lamborghini and my host said it was Miami Beach without luxury cars. I had a lot of fun!

Today was the first snow of winter! There wasn't much snow, but it sure was cold and gray!

We went Christmas caroling with friends from church, then enjoyed a super hot bonfire afterward! Everyone was trying to roast marshmallows but it was so hot that it was hard to get close enough to get them cooked! Perfect for a cold winter's night!

The host family had an invasion of blob plushies, so we got to visit with them! (The oldest daughter had made them for presents- aren't they cute?!).
