On our way to South America we needed to pass through Miami. After some extra attention from US customs (as we had been to Cuba), we made it to Miami Beach.
Tyson lived a childhood dream of seeing an NBA game live. The Miami Heat vs The Phoenix Suns. It was a great experience.
The rest of our time was spent predominantly window shopping, due to the weak Aussie Dollar. We attempted to eat a plate of ribs at the Outback Steakhouse.
Miami Beach was quite nice, especially compared to the Jamaican beaches we had visited. We found it amusing to see lots of people sunbathing in the 16 degree weather, while we rugged up in jumpers and jeans.
Miami is a bit like the Gold Coast on steroids. As with other US cities that we have visited, the class gaps and social problems are all too evident in such a materialistically rich society.
