I was very impressed by the quality of the beach today here in South Beach; it easily gives San Diego and any other Californian beach a run for their money. The vibe here is relaxed and confident. People are ready to have a good time, enjoy good food, and move to the music. The Latin culture here serves as an interesting contrast to that of California’s.

This is why I travel: to experience new places, that might resemble somewhere I know well but yet have their own unique flavor. The world is a grand place, and there is so much to experience. What a wonderful planet we inhabit, that we get to experience and explore. Let us remember such perspective when we think about the policies we want to govern ourselves.
