weekend in Miami: vacation report

Whew!

Friday night we ate at Gloria Estefan's restaurant: Lario's On The Beach.  Amazing cuban food.  We bought drink cups at our hotel, which gave us $6 pina coladas & daiquiris for the duration of our stay (instead of the $12-$18 they were everywhere else - Miami Beach is EXPENSIVE!).

Saturday we went parasailing, ate lunch at the delicious News Cafe, spent some time relaxing on the beach, and had dinner at maybe one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to, Spiga.

Sunday we went to the World Erotic Art Museum (I tried to post only the PG pics - you know, for the kids), ate lunch at the super-zany Mango's, lazed around reading by the pool, and went to Prime 112 - an organic steakhouse with the largest portions I've ever seen.

 OH MY!

And Monday we had more fantastic time at the beach, had sushi at Maiko for lunch and maybe one of the worst dining experiences of my life at the Carlyle.  We ran through the flooded streets back to our hotel, to zonk out early, fat and happy from a fantastic vacation.

 oh hello!
