Bienvenidos a Miami

Well, as you may have noticed, I did not get around to posting anything while I was in Miami. We can blame that on the fact that sunglare makes my iPhone basically useless poolside, which was where I spent a good portion of my weekend (although I did get in a nice 4 mile walk on the boardwalk/beach with one of the other girls).

But when I wasn't catching some rays*, I was enjoying the fantastic food and nightlife of Miami Beach. As per my usual restaurant pics, the light quality is somewhat lacking, but here is an assortment of some of the great meals I enjoyed during my 48 hour stay.

*Applying SPF 50 every 15 minutes while I lounged in a long-sleeved white cotton cover-up and a giant straw hat.

Lunch poolside - delish barley veggie burger. 

Sadly, the fruit cup included mango, which I can't eat.

The "Lychee Lite" - vodka, muddled lychee, white cranberry juice, mint, lime.

Edamame at Sushi Samba - sushi/Brazilian/Peruvian small plates fusion spot.

(And crazy flash lighting)

There was some fun sparkler action going on, but I didn't get a good picture
