Florida, USA

It's not exactly "South America", but it's America and it's pretty far south. There are about 5 purely logistical reasons why we had to come throug Miami for a few days, involving cheaper flights and some other stuff with the crazy Chilean airline we are flying throughout South America. We are going to get (crossing fingers) Brazilian Visas here in Miami, which has yet to be anything short of a nightmare. If you plan on going to Brazil, just know that they make getting a visa about this much fun.

Anyway, we're here until Thursday when we take off for Colombia. My cousin Kristen lives here and has been a gracious host. We went out in West Palm Beach on Saturday night and had dinner at Opa Tavern, a rowdy Greek restaurant. It was good to see my fellow Grecos dancing on tables and throwing napkins in the air. The rest of the night was spent making stupid faces.

We are going to watch the Super Bowl today, and get our last tastes of American culture for a while. Probably won't have much interesting to say between now and when we get to Colombia on Thursday, so maybe you can check out another one of my favorite blogs in the meantime. Just a few more days until we really get into it, oooooh boy.

Also, here are all the pics from Belize.

Upon returning home, they will also find an affinity for a particular beer or liquor from a country they visited. They use this as an excuse to mention their travels when at a bar. “Oh, I’ll have a Czechznlishiyush Pilsner. You see, that was my favorite beer when I was travelling through Slovenia and the Czech republic.”

"The second type of white person travel is Third World. This is when they venture to Thailand, Africa or South America. Some do it so that they can one up the white people who only go to Europe."... take that McDonnell.
