G’day Shredders, 

Thank you Andrew: Blood, Sweat & Tears Blog and Lynda: 130 On My Way Blog for your guesses to yesterday’s Day 567: Guess Where I’ll Be Tomorrow post. 

Lynda actually got very close by saying the Bahamas which was a great guess as the Panama Hat & white suit hints were very tough to narrow down to Miami! 

Miami Heat!

After 8 weeks of planning and implementation the final phase of my USA Reconnaissance Mission and I can feel the heat…literally!

That’s right, I have touched down in one of the World’s most beautiful beaches, South Beach in Miami, Florida!

Having grown up in a small town in Oz and seeing Miami featured in so many TV shows and movies it was a surreal moment to actually see the sights of Miami with my own two eyes!

Searching For South Beach

Within one hour of hitting Miami Beach I began my search for the place I had set my heart on 8 weeks ago…the one and only South Beach! 

I knew South Beach was walking distance from my hotel so I headed straight for the beach by following the cool breeze (and the Ritz Carlton!).

My Jaw Dropped!

My jaw dropped when I got to South Beach for the first time. The views were breathtaking, I was genuinely blown away by the amazing panoramic vista that stretched as far as the eye could see.

You can get a feel for how stunning the views are of South Beach from this 2006 picture below from the Wikipedia.org/South_Beach Entry.

While I still find it very hard to describe in words just how beautiful South Beach is, I do have the next best thing…pictures!

Live Pictures From South Beach!

Below are some pics that were taken in the late afternoon today, May 29, 2008.

1) Standing on the one and only South Beach!

the world famous art-deco skyline. 

 

3) A perfect way to cap off my first day in Miami…a South Beach Caesar!

 

South Beach Trivia

Ok Shredders, before I sign off today I’ll leave you with a piece of trivia about South Beach from  Wikipedia.org/South_Beach.

South Beach is one of the world’s foremost locations for fashion shoots, making the Miami area the model shoot capital of the United States. Approximately 1500 models live in the area, with many more arriving during the prime fashion shooting season, October to March. 

Until tomorrow…

Eat Clean, Shred Hard, Think BIG!

Cheers,

P.S. The South Beach Trivia above actually has relevance to a new “reveal” I will broadcast very soon! Stay tuned…
