Florida Memories - Part 3

  Back in Miami, my sister who lives here these had organized meetups with old friends and family members.

That first day we went to lunch in a Cuban restaurant.  Someone pointed out that Miami's population is very Cuban now.  In fact that all the people in that restaurant were Cuban except us.

It might have been the same night we went to a seafood restaurant to have crab.  The garlic/butter sauces were salty but we love seafood.

We noticed a Canadian TD Bank ATM in a Walgreen's store, nice to see.

Many of the chocolates in that Walgreens are from South America as pictured.  

The next day we were off to the Florida Keys to visit another cousin's new beach house.

The next day we were off to visit another cousin's farm.  On the way, we stopped at a Kentucky Fried Chicken/Taco Bell outlet for a meal.  We tried their funnel fries, so delicious.  My American sisters did not like it interestingly, but the Canadians did.  They don't have that in Canada.

My cousin's farm was full of mango, avocado, lichee and many other trees dripping with fresh fruit.  His 82 year old dad put a ladder up a tree and used a fruit picker to help us retrieve avocados and mangoes.  Unfortunately we could only bring a few home due to luggage weight restrictions.

The next day it was time for us to return home.  It was a fun trip, full of activity, albeit tiring.  I am glad we had this reunion.
