Bienvenido a Miami – What to see in Miami

It’s been almost two weeks since I came from Miami, and finally, I’m collecting all the memories together.
I used to edit photos immediately I came from vacation or trips, but lately, I found this really hard. It’s like I really don’t want to accept the fact that vacation is over, and I have to go to work. So I delay the editing and writing. 🙂 It’s even harder when the weather on your vacation is just awesome, but you have to go back to freezing windows on your car.

So, that’s how it was. My awesome cousin Klara, was working in Maine for a whole summer. In the end, she had some time to travel around, and her final destination was Miami. So I had that crazy idea. ‘What if I come to Miami, and we meet there and then we go home together?’. And that’s exactly how it happened. We were there for 6 days, a little too little to see everything I wanted, but just enough to realize Miami is the place to be. 😀 I’ll definitely come again someday.
Here is my planning list: Best places to visit in Miami … and down below is what I’ve actually seen.
