MIAMI.

I arrived in Miami yesterday afternoon at 6:00pm but it took almost 2 hours to get to my hostel- the Clayhostel at South Beach. It's because its Memorial day long weekend and everybody just wanted to party at the clubs and at the beach so the traffic was real slow.

Miami, "suu gei" thats Japanise for WOW! The weather is like in the Philippines, its warm and sticky, very sticky! Last night it the main street where packed with Black Americans - and jeez do they know how to party. But generally the main popullation here are from cuba and other South American countries so Spanish is the second if not the main language here. Somebody said 50% of the population are Hispanic.

Its nice to go for a swim in the ocean once again. The last time I went for a swim was in Hawaii. The beach here resembles the Gold Coast with tall apartment buildings linning the beach front.

Anyway I'll be here till Saturday so it will be time to relax and regroup. The 27 hours spent on the train from Washington was soon washed away from memory by the first warm atlantic wave.
