Cross
any street corner in Miami and you're
likely to hear the language and music of
many cultures; dine in its restaurants
and take a mini tour of the world.
Although this sophisticated destination
boasts miles of wide sandy beaches,
Miami offers much more. Visitors can
have a cup of cafe con leche in Little
Havana, Miami's Cuban community; stroll
past art deco architecture in the city's
South Beach district (dubbed SoBe);
explore trendy Coconut Grove; visit
attractions such as the Miami Seaquarium
and the Miami Metrozoo, or take a cruise
from the "Cruise Capital of the
World." After sundown, you'll find
entertainment so varied you'd have to
live here year-round to see it all.
Head
south of Miami to visit the legendary
Florida Keys. These tiny islands, strung
together first by nature, next by Henry
Flagler's railroad and more recently by
The Overseas Highway, seem to be in a
time zone and attitude all their own.
Jimmy Buffet said it best when he sang,
"changes in latitudes, changes in
attitudes, nothing remains quite the
same." Visitors will find their
worries disappear as they cruise U.S. 1
- with its huge expanses of blue-green
water, certainly one of the most scenic
drives in the nation.
