Just wanted to finish off posting about Miami, and more specifically, Key Largo. The only coral reef in the US can be found in the Florida Keys, so we booked ourselves in for a snorkelling session. You see the amazing brightly coloured fish, get up close to the strange living-but-not-living coral itself, and it's another chance to wear a skin-tight wetsuit.
You may be wondering - why are there no photos of these amazing sights? Well, the main reason for that is after our first snorkelling dive, we spent the rest of the time vomiting. It was a choppy day on those waves, and our complexion soon resembled that of seaweed. Luckily, Elizabeth still managed to get up close to those fishies, as they quickly came to feed on the vomit she had deposited over the side of the boat. One Fisher's sick is another fish's dinner.
As for the rest of our time there, we sampled the lovely Mexican and Italian food of Espanola Way, frequented the bars of Washington Avenue (if you're in town, check out Automatic Slims with its kitsch 50s style American decor, and Playwright, for a somewhat authentic Irish pub), the shopping on Ocean Drive and Lincoln Avenue, and sunbathed with the topless women and men wearing Stars and Stripes speedos on Miami Beach.
