[Delphine] Parents visiting, part 3!

Dear everyone, Miami writing!

Tuesday 6th
Today is time to actually visit some nice places in Miami. I decide we should start with Brickell and its big buildings. 
Oh, and today is the election day. In Florida, you could vote in advance, but it seems that many people did not judge this option to be the best... They probably regretted it when they standed lining up for up to 6h in order to vote. And you should know that if you're already in line at 7pm (when you're not allowed to come in line anymore), you are allowed to stay until you vote. This is how some people ended up voting at 2am, even if Obama had already won the election. What an organized country indeed...

Then we went to Coral Gables, where I had already been a few weeks ago. However, we did not go to the same street and this one was very animated and really nice.

We finally went to Coconut Grove. I had never been to this part of Miami, and the neighborhood is just lovely! We ate at the Cheesecake Factory and saw the famous CocoWalk. 













To end our visiting day, we went to South Beach, where I showed them all of the hotels I am used to going to with Charles and Tom.

Another day off! But this time, I really deserved it, since I have been working on a Saturday. We take the day to go to the Evergaldes and say hi to my aligator friends!
It was a GREAT experience!! Not only did we actually see aligators, but we also took a small boat with a propeller. I had no idea that the boat could go that fast! We had a lot of fun, I just loved it!

The Gators and me!

Time for my parents to go... I won't write about it, I'm pretty sad they left already... Next amazing visit expected and hoped: my sister!

You will learn a lot more very soon!
xoxo, D.
