On Wednesday, I finally began to feel a lil better and decided to leave Allapattah and head to South Beach. Oh and for those non-Miami native, Allapattah is a hood in the city of Miami (literally mid-point between Miami airport and South Beach). That means in 5 minutes I’m in Midtown Miami, another 5 minutes I’m in Downtown and another 5 minutes I’m in South Beach. Gotta love the location!
After dropping my aunt off at the doctor’s office, I headed to South Beach. I am still a member of the posh gym, Equinox and luckily they have 3 locations in South Florida. Parking can be troublesome in South Beach, but during the week it’s not too bad and Equinox provides 2 free hours of garage parking – HOLLER! After a great workout, I went for a quick walk on Ocean Drive and decided to cut trip short and head to Hialeah (it’s about 5 minutes from Miami Airport and the headquarters for Cuban immigrants). My aunt/uncle lives there and I decided to take a trip to Cuba without leaving Miami (LOL).
Hialeah is arguab
ly the home of what seems like millions of Cuban and if you know me, Cubans are my weakness!! (Hollerrr!) I just absolutely positively LOVE coming to Hialeah! There is one particular phrase that melts my heart and that is “Que bola acere”, but you can’t just say it in Spanish. Only the Cubans that were born/raised there could ever get it just the way I like it. LOL. Writing about this just reminded me of the only club where I can find these rare species, Club Azucar which is in the middle of nowhere off Coral Way. Hmmm, I’m definitely going this Friday. Anyways, back to my day (see how easily distracted I get – teehee). I went on two dates Wednesday night both in Hialeah and both with Cubans (I LOVE MIAMI!). One of them moved way too fast for my taste and the other on is a keeper. Stay tuned…
On Thursday, I woke up super early at 9a.m. (teehee) because I had to deposit a check at my bank. Ah my bank, with 10
00000 locations in Manhattan (just south of 14th street) and only one location in the ENTIRE STATE OF FLORIDA – Boca Raton. Luckily, I was going against traffic and I was back within 1.5 hrs. Afterwards, I went back to South Beach and limited my time at the gym to just 30 minutes (enough to get my parking validated – Holler) and headed to the beach. South Beach, awwww, has changed drastically from the early 90’s where I practically lived there. My BFF, Jose, lived off Collins and 23rd and we would spend many school days in the beach. I remember the countless days of rollerblading on Ocean Drive, driving my then BFF on his mom’s minivan and just thinking that we were on top of the world. Ahh, ignorance is bliss.
I sat next to the lifeguard stand and just laid back and enjoyed the sun. I didn’t go through any deep thoughts; it was just time with me, myself and I. And of course, I looked out for any hotties (Holler!). After the beach, I went to Hialeah where I am currently writing my blog. I’m looking forward towards my last weekend in Miami (or the country) and am a lil scurrred about living in Brazil (just a lil).
