Miami

Down in Miami again. I'm staying in the South Beach area, famous for it's Art Deco style. I have to agree that it looks quite cool. It is said that a lot of it has been retro fitted in order to make everywhere look in keeping, but as Art Deco is for aesthetical and not structural reasons, I can't see a problem with that. One very noticable thing about Miami is the number of people taking their dogs for walks while strutting their stuff.

I am staying in a Hostel, which is really refreshing. Everyone is crammed in 4 to a room that is about the size of the average microwave, but it is really good to meet lots of travelling people. I spent last night with about 9 people, only two of which came from the same country. Sweden, they were twins. Strangely I didn't pick up on the fact they were identical twins until quite late in the evening. Still can't quite get over that.

Tried to go kite-surfing today, but the wind was a bit soft and direct on-shore. It seems to be like that most of the time. The forecast is better for tomorrow however.
